A quick definition of chirograph:

A chirograph is a handwritten document that is used as a legal deed. It can be a single document or two parts separated by an indented line. Each party keeps one part of the document. In the past, chirographs were written on parchment and cut in a way that left half a word on each part. This type of document was called a syngrapha by the canonists and chirographa by us.

A more thorough explanation:

A chirograph is a type of legal document that is handwritten. It can be a written deed that is signed and witnessed. It can also refer to a deed that is separated into two parts, with each party retaining one part. In the past, chirographs were often written on a single piece of parchment with a word or letter of the alphabet between them. The parchment was then cut in a way that left half the word on one part and half on the other.

  • A handwritten will is an example of a chirograph.
  • A written agreement between two parties that is signed and witnessed is also a chirograph.
  • In the past, when deeds were more concise, chirographs were often written on a single piece of parchment and separated into two parts. Each party would retain one part as proof of the agreement.

These examples illustrate how a chirograph is a legal document that is handwritten and can be used to record agreements or transactions between parties.
