Summary/Abstract: There are cases in the opinion-making practice where manuscripts produced by different persons demonstrate far-reaching similarities of graphisms. This may lead to a manifest error by an expert. Omitting the phenomenon of graphism similarity, which stems from the repetitiveness of analogous structural solutions in handwriting produced by different writers, may result in judicial errors. The objective of this paper is to present the problem of manuscripts showing far-reaching convergences regarding the handwriting features.
