A person who writes by hand; a scribe, copyist, or handwriting expert; someone skilled in chirography or handwriting analysis.
From Greek 'cheir' (hand) + 'graph' (write) + -er (one who does). The term was common in medieval scriptoriums and legal offices.
Before printing, chirographers were elite professionals—their precise handwriting kept records, laws, and literature alive, making them as important to society as today's IT specialists.
