Tironian notes (notae Tironianae) is a system of shorthand invented by Cicero's scribe Marcus Tullius Tiro.Its first use is reported by Plutarch to be 63 B.C, when Tiro noted a speech of Cato the younger against Catiline. Tiro's system consisted of about 4,000 signs, somewhat extended in classical times to 5,000 signs. In the Medieval period, Tironian notes were taught in monastries and the system was extended to about 13,000 signs. The use of Tironian notes declined after 1100 A.D. but some use can still be seen for the 17th century.
