ALBUM Pratoris, that wherein the formulae of all actions, and the names of such judges as the prator had chosen to decide causes, were written.
The high priest entered the chief transactions of each year into an album, or table, which was hung up in his house for the public use.
ALBUM is also used, in later times, to denote a kind of table, or pocket-book, wherein the men of letters with whom a person has conversed, inscribed their names with some sentence or motto.
