The Forgotten Art of Chirography: Understanding the History of Handwriting
Chirography is a term that was used in the past to refer to handwriting or the art of writing with one's own hand. It is derived from the Greek words "cheir" meaning "hand" and "graphein" meaning "to write". Chirography was considered an important skill in the past, particularly for those who were educated and wanted to communicate their thoughts and ideas in written form.
In modern times, the term chirography has largely fallen out of use and has been replaced by other terms such as calligraphy and handwriting. However, it is still used in some contexts to refer to the study of handwriting and its history.
