Rhetographer

Depiction of a man with a "rhetographer" on the school bowl ( Duris , ~ 500 BC)

" Rhetograph " (about: rhetoric writer ) is a bogus lexicon article in the historical dictionary of rhetoric (Volume 7).

One illustration shows the vase picture of a Greek Ephebe holding a hinged writing board on his knees, which the article interprets as an early form of the electronic notebook . The article discusses possible forms of naming (rhetograph, rhetocheirograph, leptograph) and imaginatively meets the anticipated objection that antiquity had no electricity .
