A quick definition of cyrographarius:

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.

A more thorough explanation:

Cyrographarius is a term from Law Latin that refers to a handwritten instrument or a written deed that is subscribed and witnessed. It can also refer to a deed in two parts from a single original document separated by an indented line through the word chirographum, each party retaining one part. In historical context, it can also refer to the foot of the fine.

  • A handwritten will is an example of a cyrographarius.
  • A written agreement between two parties that is signed and witnessed is also a cyrographarius.
  • In historical context, a deed in two parts separated by an indented line through the word chirographum, each party retaining one part, is also a cyrographarius.

These examples illustrate how a cyrographarius can refer to any handwritten or written legal document that is signed and witnessed. It can also refer to a specific type of deed that is separated into two parts, with each party retaining one part.
