********************************************** 

If you didn't catch it on SCAToday, there is a BBC documentary on the 
history of British illuminated manuscripts as they were influenced by 
the monarchy from approx 600 - 1550. Lots of beautiful manuscripts and 
some vignettes on parchment making, book binding, astrology, and other 
topics as illustrated in period manuscripts. Not very deep coverage as 
you might expect from a popular work. The YouTube posting is in 6 parts 
of approx 30 min each. The original was 3 one-hour segments. It is 
available in 780p HD which makes it great to stop the playback and 
admire the artwork.

Link to Part 1 is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wl7gPDAelY&feature=relmfu
