Calligraphy just kind of means "pretty writing", it's not bound to a specific style. Edward Johnston used the term "penmanship" more often. Cursive means that the letters are formed in a "running" way, as opposed to the many times you have to lift the nib in some other styles. Even the romans had a cursive form of the letters we now refer to as "capitals" or "upper case".
