The documents in the ePistolarium have the following basic structure:

<text>
<body>
<div xml:id="div-1" type="artifact" subtype="letter">
...
</div>
<div xml:id="div-2" type="para">
...
</div>
<div xml:id="div-3" type="notes">
...
</div>
</body>
</text>

The text and body elements serve as a container for the actual text. The TEI Guidelines allow for front and back elements as siblings of body, but these are not used.

The type attribute of the div element is used to distinguish between various parts of the text, the most important ones being artifact for the 'real' letter text and notes for the text of (editorial) notes.
