Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。歌声嘹亮，面貌甜美的苗族妹子依娜意外的闯入了由湘都市最大的商贸集团龙海集团计划举行规模盛大的“时尚达人秀”冠军大赛现场，并获得全场满分。之后，依娜却神秘的消失了，这引起了以著名音乐人嘉楠为首的评委团和各路记者的跑路“追仙”。很快依娜离去后的湘都市掀起了一场寻找“湘都女神”的浪潮。嘉楠与龙海集团的公子爷庄胜怀着不同的目的奔赴依娜的家乡——湘西土家族苗族自治州。 依娜被帅气而又有才华的嘉楠吸引，当听到嘉楠为自己特别准备的神秘礼物之后决定和嘉楠一起回湘都。英杰在百般阻挠没有成功之后带着桑娅一起护送依娜和嘉楠、庄胜等人前往湘都。没想到依娜一到湘都就陷入无休止的是非之中，冠军黑幕事件、假唱事件、艳照事件、粉丝泼墨事件层出不穷，“湘都女神”在社会上持续发酵风波不断。同时，依娜还在为庄胜和英杰对自己的感情所困恼，事业问题和感情问题都在考验着这位涉世不深的苗族妹子。。大司马桑公的独女桑祈被人挖坑应下了一个赌约，要让大燕第一公子晏云之收下自己的荷包，并且答应上元节赏灯之邀，否则就要代替名伶在灯会上弹唱。桑祈开始以为这不过是小事一桩，然而她去晏府拜访几次却都吃了闭门羹。得知晏云之在国子监授课，为了完成赌约，她决定进入国子监堵他。在经过桑公七次毫不害臊、痛哭流涕地提出要让独女进国子监读书的要求后，皇帝只好同意。就这样，桑祈进入了国子监，和青梅竹马的好友卓文远，以及里面锦衣华服的少年公子们成为了同窗，也成了国子监历史上唯一的一个女弟子。。
