BBC记录片：The Beauty of Books（书香）--中世纪巨著

[Medieval Masterpieces]

The medieval era was the heyday of illuminated manuscripts. In the 14th and 15th centuries, there was a flowering of religious texts set into beautifully decorated pages. Among these devotional books were psalters, or books of psalms. Hundreds of these were produced, but the Luttrell Psalter is remarkable for its whimsical, humorous and vivid pictures of rural life and a demonic world that is terrifying and grotesque.

This period also saw the development of literature in English. The great Geoffrey Chaucer, often called the father of English literature, took the bold decision to reject literary convention and write in English. His brilliant, bawdy satire the Canterbury Tales became a medieval bestseller and, as a result, when William Caxton set up his first printing press in London, he chose Chaucer\'s tales as his first major English publication.

These wonderful books contain clever, often mysterious references for their readers and are crucial milestones in the story of the book, charting the last phase of the manuscript and the arrival of the printed book.

这期间也看到了英语文学的发展。伟大的，通常被称为英国文学之父乔叟了大胆的决定，拒绝文学惯例和英文写的。他的辉煌，淫秽的讽刺“坎特伯雷故事集”成为一个中世纪的畅销书，因此，当威廉·卡克斯顿在伦敦成立了他的第一台印刷机，他选择了乔叟的故事，他的第一个主要的英文刊物。

这些精彩的 ​​书籍包含机智，常常神秘引用他们的读者，这本书的故事中的关键里程碑，指明了最后阶段的手稿和印刷书籍的到来。
