Book in Honor of Augustus

Book in Honor of Augustus is a translation of Pietro da Eboli's Liber ad Honorem Augusti, published with the original Latin text, with black and white reproductions of the miniatures from the manuscript, with a historical introduction, a commentary, and biographical sketches of all the personalities mentioned in the poem. Liber, completed around 1196-1197, follows the struggles of Henry VI of Hohenstaufen, Holy Roman Emperor, to establish himself as king of Sicily after marrying its heiress, Constance of Hauteville. De Balneis Puteolanis is another work by the same author, who is sometimes called Petrus de Ebulo or Peter of Eboli.
