chronogramn.

Brit.

/ˈkrɒnəɡram/,

/ˈkrəʊnəɡram/, U.S.

/ˈkrɑnəˌɡræm/,

/ˈkroʊnəˌɡræm/

Etymology: modern < Greek χρόνος time + γράμμα a writing, < γράϕειν to write. Compare French chronogramme.

A phrase, sentence, or inscription, in which certain letters (usually distinguished by size or otherwise from the rest) express by their numerical values a date or epoch. ‘Thus, in 1666, when a day of national humiliation was appointed in the expectation of an engagement between the English and Dutch navies, a pamphlet issued in reference to the fast-day, instead of bearing the imprint of the year after the usual fashion, had this seasonable sentence at the bottom of the title page: ‘LorD haVe MerCIe Vpon Vs’. It will be seen that the total sum of the figures represented by the numeral letters (printed in capitals) gives the requisite date 1666’ (Athenæum No. 2868).
