Chronograms Collected: More Than 4,000 In Number is a book written by James Hilton that is dedicated to the collection of chronograms. A chronogram is a word or phrase in which certain letters can be interpreted as Roman numerals that, when added together, give the date of the event being commemorated. The book contains over 4,000 chronograms that have been collected from various sources, including inscriptions, manuscripts, and printed works. The chronograms are arranged chronologically and cover a wide range of subjects, including historical events, religious ceremonies, and personal accomplishments. The book also includes an introduction that provides a brief history of chronograms and their significance in various cultures. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of language and numerals, as well as those interested in the cultural significance of chronograms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
