| Abstract | This paper is an investigation into the epitaphs for the tombs of two Korean Buddhist monk-officials from 12th century Koryo. Both epitaphs are written in the format of tomb-contracts according to which the dead person "owns" the plot of land on which the tomb is located so as not to have one`s final resting place disturbed after burial. These after-life contracts reflect an ancient Chinese practice that can be traced back to the Han dynasty. The Koryo examples follow the traditional Chinese format for such contracts. |
