The concluding part or protocol of a formal document, letter, or covenant, especially in biblical or ecclesiastical texts.
From Greek 'eschatos' (last) plus 'kol' (possibly from 'column' or 'protokol'). Used in medieval and religious studies to describe document structure.
Every formal letter has an eschatocol—it's the signature, seal, and closing formula. In medieval monasteries, scribes were trained in the precise eschatocol conventions because authentication mattered.
