A script or handwriting script is a formal, generic style of handwriting (as opposed to personal handwriting). A hand may be a synonym or a variation, a subset of script[1]
There is a variety of historical styles in manuscript documents.[2] Some of them belonging to calligraphy,[3] whereas some were set up for better readabiliy, utility or teaching (teaching script).[4]
Historic styles of handwriting may be studied by palaeography
Personal variations and idiosyncrasies in writing style departing from the standard hand, which may for example allow the work of a particular scribe copying or writing a manuscript to be identified, are described by the term handwriting (or hand).
