A person who records the events and dates of history; a historian who specializes in creating chronologies or written accounts of events in time order.
From Greek chronos (time) and -grapher (one who writes or records), literally 'time-writer.' This term was common in medieval and Renaissance scholarship to describe historians and scribes who recorded events chronologically.
Medieval chronographers were the original data scientists—they collected scattered historical records and imposed temporal order on chaos, creating the first reliable timelines that let us piece together medieval history thousands of years later.
