剧情简介
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）。苏菲·霍尔（阿曼达·塞弗里德 Amanda Seyf 饰）是《纽约客》的调查员。她的未婚夫维克多为开餐馆忙碌着。他们来意大利的维罗纳旅行。不过，维克多却醉心于品尝美食，对她疏于照顾。两人感情因此矛盾丛生。苏菲闲逛到许愿墙下，发现很多人给朱丽叶写信。她很好奇，尾随取信的 妇女，发现有四位女士扮演朱丽叶，回信解答情感问题。苏菲被感动了，决定加入她们的队伍。她读到一封50年前的来信：克莱尔·史密斯（瓦妮莎·雷德格瑞夫 Vanessa Redgrave 饰）讲述了一段留有遗憾的当年情。苏菲用心地回了信。没想到，某天，老人的孙子查理（克里斯·艾根 Chris Egan 饰）找上门来。她这才了解，老人读了她的信，决定重拾真爱。但查理觉得这很荒谬。在争执中，三个人共同踏上了寻爱之旅……。
