Abstract: The De rebus Siculis carmen or Carmen de motibus Siculis or Liber ad honorem Augusti, transmitted by the sole ms. Bern Burgerbibliothek, Codex 120 II (B), is one of the two works by Petrus de Ebulo and can be dated to 1194 -1197. It tells in elegiac couplets the conquest of the Kingdom of Sicily by the Emperor Henry VI of Hohenstaufen. The ms. is illuminated: unlike the other mss. of that time, where miniatures are used to decorate the text, here they help understanding, supporting the narration and sometimes completing its gaps.
