An ‘album of science’ is a manuscript containing materials on computus and at least one subject associated with computus, for example, astronomy or medicine. Its characteristic format is a mosaic of texts and tables. This article explains the logic behind the choice of materials and proposes a method for unlocking the compilers’ intentions.
