Abstract	The makers of illuminated manuscripts engaged with many forms of travel. In addition to the movement of books and their component parts, this session will explore the importance of the movement of artists and ideas for book production in the Middle Ages. It will also consider the reception of images as a means for virtual travel on the part of the viewer. As a group the papers will address how these different means of travel could interact, and will present some of the results.
