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）。江戸・深川の堀にぽつんと浮かぶ小さな島。その中に一膳めし屋「安楽亭」はあった。ならず者たちの集まるその場所は、以前から抜き荷（禁制品の密貿易）が行なわれているところだという疑いがかけられつつも、町奉行でさえよくよく立ち入らないほどだった。しかし、新任の同心が断固たる態度で捜査に乗り出したことで、安楽亭の住人・幾造（中村翫右衛門）、定七（仲代達矢）、与兵衛（佐藤慶）、政次（近藤洋介）らは微かに不安を覚えはじめていた。そんな折、女郎屋に売られた幼なじみの娘を探しているという、富次郎（山本圭）という若い男が安楽亭にやってくる。[122分／モノクロ／シネマスコープ]。故事发生在十七世纪由路易十四所统治的法国，两位当代剑术超凡的剑侠在路边捡回一个弃婴，将他抚养长大，并传授他绝世的剑术，成为一位极为有为的青年剑客一拉卡德。气宇轩昂的尼维耶爵士拥有非常精锐的剑侠特攻队，卡拉德是其中的佼佼者，冥冥中乎注定了两人生死与共的宿命。尼维耶爵士选中拉卡德为他随身的侍卫，加入迎娶白兰芝的浩大行列，在漫长的途中，两人成为好友。但是当所有的人都沉浸在婚礼的喜悦时，卑鄙的康札已设下埋伏，对所有的宾客进行大屠杀……。
