Albanenses, the name given by some writers to that division of the Catharists who believed in an absolute dualism, in opposition to the Concorrezenses and Bagnolenses, who believed in one supreme principle. The name is derived from the town of Alba, on the Tanaro, in Piedmont, where the sect had one of its chief communities. Another community was at Don-nezachum (probably Donzenac) in southern France; after which place it was also sometimes called. (See Catharists.)
