A book hand was any of several stylized handwriting scripts used during ancient and medieval times.[1] It was intended for legibility and often used in transcribing official documents (prior to the development of printing and similar technologies).[2]
In palaeography and calligraphy, the term hand is still used to refer to a named style of writing, such as the chancery hand.[1]
