A breviograph (from (ラテン語:brevis), short, and Greek ''grapho'', to write) is a type of scribal abbreviation in the form of an easily written symbol, character, flourish, or stroke based on a modified letter form used to take the place of a common letter combination, especially those occurring at the beginning or end of a word. Breviographs were used frequently by stenographers, law clerks, and scriveners, and were also found in early printed books and tracts.〔Tannenbaum, Samuel A. ''The Handwriting of the Renaissance'' (1931), New York: Columbia UP, 125-134.〕 Their use declined after the 17th century. ==See also== * Acronym and initialism * Palaeography * Classical abbreviations * Medieval abbreviations * Scribal abbreviations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「breviograph」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
