Abstract	Nordic manuscript culture was reliant on networks between individuals, religious houses, and secular circles. This session, the second of a two-session strand on 'Networks in, of, and around Nordic manuscripts' is concerned with the production circumstances and influences on Medieval Scandinavian book making. Three papers will highlight these networks, starting with investigating the collaboration between scribes in a presumably small community, moving to the entanglement of Nordic languages used in manuscripts, and finally opening to the dissemination of books within Scandinavia and beyond.
