Abstract
Didactism is one of the major goals in any project promoted by Alphonse X the Wise�s scriptorium. Therefore, it is also one of the main characteristics in the so called Codeices of the Stories� miniature of the Canticles of Saint Mary, done in the last years of the king�s life, at the end of the XIIIth century. For that purpose, the protagonists� itineracy in all the miracles is a way used by the painters to produce the feeling of a constant travelling through the illuminated pages. It shows the importance of pilgrimage in Europe at that time.
