Testament
\Tes"ta*ment\, n. [F., fr. L. testamentum, fr. testari
to be a witness, to make one's last will, akin to testis a
witness. Cf.
Intestate,
Testify.]
1. (Law) A solemn, authentic instrument in writing, by which
a person declares his will as to disposal of his estate
and effects after his death.
[1913 Webster]
Note: This is otherwise called a will, and sometimes a last
will and testament. A testament, to be valid, must be
made by a person of sound mind; and it must be executed
and published in due form of law. A man, in certain
cases, may make a valid will by word of mouth only. See
Nuncupative will, under
Nuncupative.
[1913 Webster]
2. One of the two distinct revelations of God's purposes

in which the covenants are respectively revealed; as, the
Old Testament; the New Testament; -- often limited, in
colloquial language, to the latter.
[1913 Webster]
He is the mediator of the new testament . . . for
the redemption of the transgressions that were under
the first testament. --Heb. ix. 15.
[1913 Webster]
Holographic testament, a testament written wholly by the
testator himself. --Bouvier.
[1913 Webster]
