The illuminator Claudio Rofferio († ca. 1567) was an Augustinian
canon. Originally from the Aosta Valley, he was active in various
regions; from 1539 until about 1544 he created a series of
illuminated manuscripts for the Cistercian Abbey of Altenberg near
Cologne. From about 1550 until after 1560, he worked for various
monasteries and religious institutions in Switzerland, such as
Beromünster, Muri, Schönenwerd and St. Urban. For Schönenwerd
Abbey he wrote and illuminated this representative Gradual, dated
to the years 1556 and 1559.
