Simple Definition

Cyrographarius is a fancy word from Latin that means the same thing as chirograph. A chirograph is a handwritten document that is signed and witnessed. Sometimes, a chirograph was written in two parts on the same piece of parchment, with a word or letter of the alphabet written between them. The parchment was then cut in a straight or indented line, leaving half the word on one part and half on the other. Each party kept one part of the document. This type of chirograph was called a cyrographarius or foot of the fine.
