Abstract

Geumseok Jipcheop is the earliest collection of data containing the full aspect of the stelae among the collecting Korean stele insciptions. It contains full data of stone rubbing stela insciptions datas. Geumseok Jipcheop is consisted of more than 1800 stelae stone rubbings in 226 volumes, and now 219 volumes are preserved at Kyoto University. Geumseok Jipcheop contains Buddhist stelae as the item of ‘temples’ among 34 items. A total of 101 Buddhist stelae were included in Geumseokrok, which assumed the list of Geumseok Jipcheop, of which 88 remain. It contains 3 stelae which are not included in ‘temples’ item. The Buddhist stelae included Geumseokrok are 5 stelae of Silla, 28 of Goryeo, 68 of Joseon, so 101 in total. The existing Buddhist stelae are 2 of Silla, 18 of Goryeo, 68 of Joseon, so 88 in total. Three stelae are exist on the list but are not real. The four stelae are woodblock prints, not stelae. Although Silla and Goryeo datas included in Geumseok Jipcheop are not sufficient compared to other stela collections such as Geumseokcheongwan and Daedong Geumseokseo. Geumseok Cheongwan contained 59 Buddhist materials, including 9 Silla, 37 Goryeo, 13 Joseon, and Daedong Geumseokseo a total of 95 Buddhist steles, including 11 Silla, 69 Goryeo, and 15 Joseon. The fact that Buddhist stelae contained in Geumseok Jipcheop were small before Goryeo dynasty is the result of a relatively focused collection of Joseon dynasty data. In the case of Buddhist stelae in Joseon dynasty, there are far more materials in Geumseok Jipcheop. Geumseok Jipcheop contains 10 Buddhist stelae of Joseon dynasty, including the Buddhist stelae to the Songpadaesa stela of Yongyeonsa temple, whose existence is not yet known. Although the contents of the inscription are known, the first data to be known are 11 Buddhist stelae of Joseon dynasty, including the Wanheodaesa Seokjongmyeong of Bohyeonsa temple. Those stelae are situated at quiet local areas such as Bohyeonsa temple in Myohyangsan mountain. As a result of comparing stelae, Geumseok Jipcheop is generally meaningful as the closest data to its original form. This indicates the intention of those who edited and produced Geumseok Jipcheop to realize the importance of the data and to produce the original data in the original form as much as possible. The meaning of the Buddhist stelae in Geumseok Jipcheop should be highly appreciated in that they are high-quality stone rubbing datas that faithfully show the original appearance of stelae by editing them in an original data.
