rubric
The heading of a chapter or section of a
manuscript or printed book written or printed in
red. The term is also used at times with reference
to borders, underlined words on title pages, etc.,
of books of the 16th and 17th centuries, although
this usage would better be called ruled in red. A
book having rubrics is said to be "rubricated" and
the rubrication is done by a "rubricator" or
"rubrisher." (69 ,
