Petrus de Ebulo: Liber ad honorem Augusti, lat.
Petrus de Ebulo's Liber ad honorem Augusti is a late twelfth-century Latin illuminated manuscript from southern Italy, written around 1195 in praise of Emperor Henry VI and his Sicilian campaign. Its pages are arranged as rows of small painted scenes with red Latin captions, probably made for a royal or court patron. The pictures show armoured figures, sieges, ships and crowned rulers in flat colour, offering a designer simple, stylised narrative layouts and a strong red and green palette.
