Illuminations: The Private Lives of Medieval Kings (2012)
somniloquist 2 points 4 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

The passion that Dr. Ramirez carries for medieval history is preternatural. You can see it glowing out of her green eyes. You can see her taking in the energy that radiates off of these books like an oracle inhaling the vapors. They’re called illuminated for a reason.
Books are power. The medieval gentry that could afford to have them made knew that intrinsically. Even after they’ve been folded into velvet shrouds and hidden from the world for centuries, nothing is depleted. So watch Dr. Janina Ramirez enjoy the privlidge of being in the presence of treasures, and understand them for what they truly are.
Oh, and see some love notes from Henry VIII, if that’s more your thing.
