Urbain Bonivard, prior of Saint-Victor in Geneva from 1458 to 1483,
produced this missal in 1460. The missal follows the liturgical
practices of Cluny; the miniatures are the work of Janin Luysel and
Guillaume Coquin. During the Reformation the manuscript disappeared
from Geneva and only came to light again in 1912 when the city of
Geneva bought it at an auction in Munich.
