like the one below on Paul's prescripts Lit Genius (Ft. Dr. Jeremy Dean) – Introduction to Poetry Genius

A “prescript” in antiquity was the opening of a letter. This document collects several of Paul’s prescripts from across the letters. The annotation assignment asks students to compare these openings.

As you look at the prescripts of Paul’s letters side by side, what are some of the things that you notice? What differences or similarities are there? What might be possible causes of these differences and similarities?
