Albus (coin)
From the Late Middle Ages the ''albus'' was a common currency in parts of the Holy Roman Empire, especially in the Rhineland. The name ''albus'' is Latin and means "white". Because of its higher silver content, this lighter coin differed in colour from the other inferior coins. This resulted in the names ''denarius albus'' (white ''pfennig''), ''Weißpfennig'' or Rhenish ''groschen''. History The ''albus'' was a silver ''groschen'' coin of the Late Middle Ages that was distributed in the Lower Rhine region from the second half of the 14th century. The four Rhenish electors, who united in 1385/86 to form the Rhenish Minting Union (''Rheinischer Münzverein''), together had the ''Weißpfennig'' minted as a silver coin alongside the Rhenish gold gulden.Heinz Fengler, Gerhard Gierow, Willy Unger: ''Transpress Lexikon Numismatik.''

Albus (geomancy)
The 16 geomantic figures are the primary symbols used in divinatory geomancy. Each geomantic figure represents a certain formed state of the world or the mind and can be interpreted in various ways based upon the query put forth and the method used to generate the figures. When geomancy was introduced to Europe in the Middle Ages, the figures acquired astrological meanings and new forms of interpretation. The figures bear superficial resemblance to the ba gua, the eight trigrams used in the ''I Ching'', a Chinese classic text. Properties of the figures Each of the figures is composed of four lines, each line containing either one or two points. Each line represents one of the four classical elements: from top to bottom, the lines represent fire, air, water, and earth. When a line has a single point, the element is said to be active; otherwise, with two points, the element is passive. Because there are four lines, and since each line can be either active or passive, there are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
