Breviary in two volumes, created in 1493 for Jost von Silenen (†
1498), the Bischop of Sion from 1482 until his dismissal in 1497.
Richly decorated, the miniatures are the work of an itinerant
artist active in Fribourg, Bern and Sion during the final decades
of the 15th century and known by the name Master of the breviary of
Jost von Silenen. At the beginning of the 16th century, he
continued his work in Aosta and Ivrea, where he took the name
Master of George of Challant.
