al-bi-um / al-bi-uth
Phonetic: /ælˈbiː.əm / ælˈbiː.uːθ/
In Medieval astrology, Albium or Albiuth refers to a traditional term found in Arabic astrological literature, associated with specialized astronomical or astrological calculation.
The term appears in translated Medieval sources where Arabic technical vocabulary was transmitted into Latin astrology. Its exact meaning varies according to the text and context in which it is used, and it may represent a transliteration rather than a standardized astrological category. Medieval astrologers encountered such terms within systems of planetary computation, degrees, or predictive methods derived from Arabic scholarship. Understanding its usage often requires reference to the original textual tradition.
