While I was making my last comment I came across this interesting/fascinating read. Diplomatics - Formats, Scripts, Seals | Britannica An extract from the above: From Roman times the two most important methods of validating documents were by appending the signature or the seal of the sender or promulgator. The practice of using seals for this purpose (and not merely to close a document) was carried over from imperial usage and, by the 8th century, was current among the Lombards and other Germanic tribes in western Europe. Until about the 8th century, the signature of the Merovingian ruler or his delegate was also required for the validation of public documents, but thereafter the seal alone, together with the recognition by a high chancery official, was held sufficient, the king’s signature dwindling into a monogram or mere stroke (the “stroke of execution”). This change was probably accelerated because many medieval kings could not write. Thus, in England, King John sealed, and did not sign, the Magna Carta.

To whom it may concern, I never said my preferred site was perfect(M-B), enough said. I found this on another site, that I think better(?) answered your question: Calligraphy Definition: Calligraphy is the art of beautiful handwriting. It involves the design and execution of lettering that is expressive, harmonious, and skillful. Focus: Emphasizes aesthetic quality and artistic expression. Calligraphy often uses specialized tools like brushes, pens, or quills. Applications: Commonly used in formal invitations, certificates, and artwork. Chirography Definition: Chirography refers to the practice of handwriting or the study of handwriting. It can be seen as a broader term that encompasses all forms of handwriting. Focus: Primarily concerned with the technique and style of writing by hand, without the artistic emphasis found in calligraphy. Applications: Often related to practical handwriting skills, education, and personal style. A note for the two other comments given so far; The fact that you are here, that we know your name, should be a tell to you of your talent. You are in luck, they don't teach handwriting skills in school anymore. As long as you can type, you can change the type of script, font, size and color that you use. Code books, no longer required.

Just the facts: Etymology Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster An extract from the above: Commonly Confused: Etymology and Entomology The etymology of etymology itself is relatively straightforward. Etymon means "origin of a word" in Latin, and comes from the Greek word etymon, meaning "literal meaning of a word according to its origin." Greek etymon in turn comes from etymos, which means "true." Be careful not to confuse etymology with the similar-sounding entomology. Entomon means "insect" in Greek, and entomology is the study of bugs.

Female Darwin's Bark Spider Despite being no larger than 4cm, the female Darwin's Bark Spider can create a web bridge spanning up to 75 feet across rivers by releasing several strands of silk which the wind carries to the other side. She then reinforces it, allowing her to hunt for insects flying over the river.

It is a bit embarrassing, I have only been to two(2) museums in my life. In grade six students of the Montreal Protestant School board of Montreal ended the school year with a trip to the Redpath museum in Montreal. Redpath museum | Montreal Museums In February of 1976, while on UN leave (10 days), my two friends and I visited the Imperial War museum in london. Young soldiers on leave in London, not a big surprise. Imperial War Museum - Wikipedia A (not so little to me) side note. We were staying at the Union Jack Club, having a beer or three at the bar. A colonel, stopped by and asked if we would like to meet Queen Elizabeth II. Who was officially opening the club in one hour. The rest as they is history. We changed into uniform. She came to our table, spoke to each of us about our UN duties, where we lived( wow, a 15 min. personal meeting with her Majesty). It was formally opened by the Patron-in-Chief, Queen Elizabeth II, on 12 February 1976. Now, I can in all honesty, say with no lie. I have been to London to visit the Queen.
