Karl Emanuel Rogol

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Emanuel Rogol was a stenographer and system inventor.

Little is known about Rogol's life, but he lived around the middle of the 19th century. In 1851 Rogol published a "textbook of shorthand" based on the principle of self-written shorthands. In the first edition he calls himself a "teacher of shorthand" in Meißen , later also a savings bank accountant in Borna .

In Rogol's script, the same characters are often assigned several different consonants . The reinforcement of the characters serves to denote the doubling of the consonance and in later versions of its shorthand also to distinguish between identical characters. The Gabelsberger Stenographers ' Association wrongly warned against this font, since in their opinion "at most it has the character of a secret script, but has nothing in common with the shorthand but the name illegally assigned to it".
