Albinus (cardinal)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albinus[1] was an Italian Cardinal of the late twelfth century. An Augustinian regular canon, he was Bishop of Albano from 1189 to 1198[2].

He was a legate and an important figure of the papal curia. He was also the author of the Gesta pauperis scolaris, a major source of the Liber Censuum. In politics, he was on good terms with Tancred of Lecce[3]

He was created cardinal-deacon in 1182[4], and cardinal-priest with the title of S. Croce in Gerusalemme in 1185[5].
