The art or technique of writing or engraving with gold, or inscriptions made with gold.
From Latin 'aurum' (gold) + Greek 'graphia' (writing), combining two languages to describe the artistic practice of writing or drawing with precious gold.
Medieval monks practiced aurigraphy when illuminating manuscripts—they'd paint intricate designs with gold leaf so carefully that the light would shimmer off the pages in ways that made the text seem almost divine!
