What does RA mean in Bible?

Retained Autograph

RA refers to retaining an autograph (an author validated manuscript) while sending an exact duplicate to a destination. This was often done to prevent the permanent loss of the manuscript content, resulting from loss, environmental damage, or hostile people. It was often prudent to create at least two autographs (originals); one to send, the ‘Sent Autograph’, and one to retain for yourself, the ‘Retained Autograph’. This process has also occurred with past authors and poets, such as Emily Dickinson. The terminology and acronym were first coined by Peter Arvo within the lecture series called 'The Torchbearer Series' in 2018.
