Definitions of "calligraphy" from different sources

Ushakov  defining dictionary of the russian language.

CALLIGRAPHY , [from Greek: kalligraphia — beautiful handwriting] (bookish).

Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary (small)

CALLIGRAPHY , Greek , art of neat handwriting, was widely used by the manuscript scribes before book printing was invented. The main font types, decorative initial caps, chapter’s beginnings and endings, etc. were invented at the same time. At present time, especially with the invention of typewriters the art of C. is in decay.

Dahl Defining dictionary in Old Russian (original) language

CALLIGRAPHY neat writing and beautiful writing. Calligrapher scribe. Calligraphic concerning calligraphy

Publisher’s guide book

CALLIGRAPHY —art of beautiful and neat writing, connected with the history of handwritten book design. 

Russian Humanitarian Encyclopedia

CALLIGRAPHY —is an ability for fine and beautiful writing, a craft and an art. It possessed an outstanding significance during the pre-printing period. Striving for emotional and graphic expressiveness of a sign was typical of the ancient writing tradition (as distinguished from Arabic and Far Eastern traditions). Russian calligraphy was gravitated towards geometric accuracy of handwriting (uncial writing), which was partially lost in semi-uncial and cursive writing. The script of handwritten books became a base of the first printer’s type.  

The New Oxford Dictionary of English

CALLIGRAPHY

 • noun decorative handwriting or handwritten lettering.  — DERIVATIVES calligrapher noun calligraphic adjective. — ORIGIN Greek kalligraphia , from kalligraphos ‘person who writes beautifully’.
