Albinus (philosopher)
Albinus ( el, Ἀλβῖνος; fl. c. 150 AD) was a Platonist philosopher, who lived at Smyrna, and was teacher of Galen. A short tract by him, entitled ''Introduction to Plato's dialogues'', has survived. From the title of one of the extant manuscripts we learn that Albinus was a pupil of Gaius the Platonist. The original title of his work was probably ''Prologos'', and it may have originally formed the initial section of notes taken at the lectures of Gaius. After explaining the nature of the Dialogue, which he compares to a Drama, the writer goes on to divide the Dialogues of Plato into four classes, logical, critical, physical, ethical, and mentions another division of them into Tetralogies, according to their subjects. He advises that the Alcibiades, Phaedo, Republic, and Timaeus, should be read in a series. Some of Albinus's fame is attributed to the fact that a 19th-century German scholar, J. Freudenthal, attributed Alcinous's ''Handbook of Platonism'' to Albinus. This ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bernhard Siegfried Albinus
Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (originally Weiss; 24 February 16979 September 1770) was a German-born Dutch anatomist. He served a professor of medicine at the University of Leiden like his father Bernhard Albinus (1653–1721). He also published a large-format artistic atlas of human anatomy, with engravings made by Jan Wandelaar.

In 1702 the latter was transferred to the chair of medicine at Leiden University, and it was there that Bernhard Siegfried began his studies in 1709, at the age of 12, having for his teachers such men as Boerhaave and Govert Bidloo. Having finished his studies at Leiden, he went to Paris in 1718, where, under the instruction of Sébastien Vaillant (1669–1722), Jacob Winslow (1669–1760) and Frederik Ruysch, he devoted himself especially to anatomy and botany.

Bernhardus Albinus
Bernhardus Friedrich Albinus (7 January 1653, Dessau – 7 September 1721, Leiden) was a Dutch physician and anatomist. His sons Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (1697–1770) and Friedrich Bernhard Albinus (1715-1778) were also anatomists of note in Leiden. Albinus was born in Dessau in the principality of Anhalt, where his father, Christoforus Albinus, was the mayor. His ancestral family name, Weiss, had been changed to Albinus in the 16th century, after the fashion of the time, by his ancestor Petrus Weiss, poet and historian. In his youth, a poor physical constitution led to his being schooled at home before being sent to the public school of his city. When the scientist Hendrik Alers, head of the school, was called to the famous school of Bremen in 1669, Albinus joined him. He studied the sciences and languages, especially physics and philosophy, with interest. From Bremen he went to the University of Leiden, where he studies medicine under Carolus Drelincourt, Lucas Schacht a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Albinus (consul 493)
Caecina Decius Faustus Albinus ( 490–525) was a Roman politician during the reign of Theodoric the Great. He held the consulship with Eusebius in 493. Albinus is best known for being identified with the senator whom Boethius defended from accusations of treasonous correspondence with the Eastern Roman Empire by the '' referandarius'' Cyprianus -- only to have Cyprianus then accuse Boethius of the same crime. Albinus was son of Caecina Decius Maximus Basilius (consul in 480), and brother of Avienus (consul in 501), Theodorus (consul in 505) and Inportunus. John Moorhead argues that the brothers were on different sides of the Laurentian schism, with Albinus and Avienus supporting Symmachus and Theodorus and Inportunus supporting Laurentius. The '' Liber Pontificalis'' reports that Albinus and his wife Glaphyra, during the pontificate of Symmachus, built a basilica dedicated to Saint Peter on the Via Trebana at the 27th milepost, on the farm of Pacinianus. In 523 or 524, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Albinus (consul 444)
Albinus (''floruit'' 440–448) was an aristocrat of the Roman Empire; he was made consul for 444 as the junior partner of Emperor Theodosius II. He may be a nephew of, or identical with, Caecina Decius Acinatius Albinus, ''praefectus urbi'' in 414. Life Samuel Dill observed that "the Novellae seem to show him the great statesman of the time." He was Praetorian prefect of Gaul in 440, when Pope Leo I was called on to mediate a quarrel between him and the ''magister militum'' Aetius. (B.L. Twyman notes that Prosper's language "is conventional, and that the notice reveals only the fact of the resolution of a quarrel, not any actual friendship between Aetius and Albinus."Twyman, "Aetius and the Aristocracy", '' Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte'', 19 (1970), p. 491) The cause of their quarrel is not known. After Petronius Maximus ended his tenure as Praetorian prefect of Italy sometime in 441, a rapid succession of successors to the post followed until Albinus was appoint ...

Caecina Decius Aginatius Albinus
Caecina Decius Aginatius (or Acinatius) Albinus (''floruit'' 414) was an aristocrat of the Roman Empire. He was ''praefectus urbi'' in 414, succeeding his friend Rutilius Namatianus, and possibly again in 426. Biography His father was probably Caecina Decius Albinus, and his grandfather Aginatius; Albinus was therefore a member of the Roman aristocracy related to the families of the Ceionia gens, Ceionii and the Decia gens, Decii. Caecina Decius Basilius, consul in 463, might be his son. Albinus was an associate of the poet Rutilius Claudius Namatianus, who described him as "a youth in the flower of life" (''vitae flore puer''), owning a villa near Namatianus at Volaterrae in modern Tuscany, having a son Rufius, and who was Namatianus' successor as ''praefectus urbi''. During his tenure as ''praefectus urbi'', Albinus requested the emperor Honorius (emperor), Honorius to increment the food reserved for the population of Rome, as it was increasing after the sack of Rome (410), sac ...

List Of Urban Prefects Of Rome
This is a list of urban prefects of Rome, one of the oldest offices of the Roman state, attested from the time of the kings through the Republic and the Empire up until 599. The office also existed during the era of the Crescentii family in Rome, late 10th century, as well as in the early 12th century, when the Pope appointed its holders. It was especially influential during the imperial period and late Antiquity, when the urban prefect exercised the government of the city of Rome and its surrounding territory. 6th to 1st century BC * Aulus Sempronius Atratinus (499 BC) * Quintus Servilius Priscus Structus (465 BC) * Lucius Papirius Crassus (325 BC) * Lucius Julius Caesar (47 BC) - appointed by the Magister equitum Marc Antony during his absence from Rome * Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus (26 BC) * Titus Statilius Taurus (16 BC - AD 14) 1st century * Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus (AD 14 - 32) * Lucius Aelius Plautius Lamia (32 - 33) * Cossus Cornelius Lentulu ...

Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus
Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus (27 April 81 BC – September 43 BC) was a Roman general and politician of the late republican period and one of the leading instigators of Julius Caesar's assassination. He had previously been an important supporter of Caesar in the Gallic Wars and in the civil war against Pompey. Decimus Brutus is often confused with his distant cousin and fellow conspirator, Marcus Junius Brutus. Biography Early life Decimus was probably son of the Roman senator Decimus Junius Brutus and his notorious wife Sempronia, one of the participants in the conspiracy of Catilina in 63 BC. His birthday seems to have been 27 April, and he was probably born in the year 81 BC, perhaps slightly earlier. Decimus was of distinguished ancestry: his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been consuls, and his mother was likely descended from Gaius Gracchus, the ill-fated popular reformer. He was also adopted by a patrician named Postumius Albinus, one of the last ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Albinus (abbot)
Albinus (died 732) was an abbot of St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury. He assisted Bede in the compilation of his '' Historia Ecclesiastica'', and what we know concerning him is chiefly derived from the dedicatory epistle at the beginning of that work. Albinus was a pupil of Archbishop Theodore and his coadjutor Adrian of Canterbury, abbot of St. Peter's. Through the instructions of the latter he became not only versed in the Scriptures, but likewise a master of Greek and Latin (Chron. G. Thorne). On the death of Adrian, Albinus succeeded to the abbacy, being the first native Englishman who filled that post. Bede in his epistle says that he was indebted to Albinus for all the facts contained in his history relating to the Kentish church between the first conversion of the English and the time at which he was writing. Much of this information was collected by the presbyter Nothelm, who, at the instigation of Albinus, undertook a journey to Rome , established_title = Founded ...

Clodius Albinus
Decimus Clodius Albinus ( 150 – 19 February 197) was a Roman imperial pretender between 193 and 197. He was proclaimed emperor by the legions in Britain and Hispania (the Iberian Peninsula, comprising modern Spain and Portugal) after the murder of Pertinax in 193 (known as the "Year of the Five Emperors"), and proclaimed himself emperor again in 196, before his final defeat and death the following year. Biography Early life Albinus was born in Hadrumetum, Africa Province ( Sousse, Tunisia) to an aristocratic Roman family. The unreliable '' Historia Augusta'' claims his parents' names were Aurelia Messallina and Ceionius Postumus, along with other relatives mentioned in ''Vita Albini'' none of these names are considered likely to be accurate by modern historians. The text also claims that Clodius received the cognomen Albinus because of the extraordinary whiteness of his complexion.Capitolinus, ''Clodius Albinus'' 4-10 Career under Marcus Aurelius and Commodus Showing a disposit ...
