The Annales Maximi of the Pontifex Maximus, the annual edicts of the praetor, the lists of Roman and municipal senators (decuriones) and jurors (album indicum) were exhibited in this manner . In medieval and modern times album denotes a book of blank pages in which verses, autographs, sketches, photographs and the like are collected . It is also applied to the official list of matriculated students in a university, and to the roll in which a bishop inscribes the names of his clergy .
