Again my thanks to Stephen for allowing me to share his wonderful glossary of lost words. If you are curious why not go and check it out! http://phrontistery.info/clwdef.html
Today we have many words that mean writer. They are categorized by the genre or type of writing we do.
author. biographer. columnist. correspondent. critic. dramatist. editor. essayist. journalist. novelist. poet. reporter. screenwriter. contributor. freelancer. ghostwriter. scribbler. scribe. stenographer. stringer. wordsmith. newspaper person. person of letters. scripter.
These lost words should stay within the writing realm, don’t you think?
archigrapher 1656 -1656
principal or head secretary or clerkhttp://phrontistery.info/index.html
The archigrapher efficiently designated transcription duties to her underlings.
artigrapher 1753-1753
writer or composer of a grammar; a grammarian artigrapher
Today’s prescriptivists are no better than the artigraphers of the Renaissance.
kalotypography 1834 -1834
beautiful printing
Medieval manuscripts are attractive, but modern kalotypography surely surpasses them
