Talk:Chirograph

Sorry, but this article is silly
The use to which the word "chirograph" is put is much broader than a specific type of papal document. A dictionary definition of the word gives it as 'A writing which, requiring a counterpart, was engrossed twice on the same piece of parchment, with a space between, in which was written the word chirographum, through which the parchment was cut, and one part given to each party.' This is the only use to which I personally have seen the word put hitherto. The idea of cutting the duplicate document in two was a practical one - each copy could be proven genuine by being brought together with its counterpart. A decidedly non-papal example is here. I'll have a rummage and see if I can't find some stuff on which to base a partial, stop-gap re-write. Nortonius (talk) 18:23, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure this is vandalism, but it's been in the page so long that I'm not able to find what it previously said. Not sure what should go in here, so I'm going to flag the page with needs expert somehow Anniepoo (talk) 23:07, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
