Albinus (cardinal)

Albinus^[1] (died 1197) was an Italian Cardinal of the late twelfth century. An Augustinian regular canon, he was Bishop of Albano from 1189 to 1197^[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].
