石刻唐書,意指記載著形形色色唐代社會的墓誌銘,不僅可作為歷史研究的實物資料,更是正史、糾史、補史的重要佐證。位於洛陽市的「千唐誌齋」則以珍藏諸多石刻唐書而聞名,收藏之豐富,甚至可稱得上為唐人檔案館。
專書呼應雕刻墓誌銘所使用之青石,以深色且具有材質觸感的紙質進行書封設計,並將千唐誌齋碑文「誰非過客」、「花是主人」以打凹工法呈現於封面之上,搭配燙金的字體點綴,回應其雕刻工藝之美以及文化底蘊之下所具備的樸實與高雅形象。
These epitaphs from the Tang Dynasty are not only research objects but also supplementary evidence to history. The book design is inspired by epitaph stones with specific colors and textures. Decorated with gilding typography, it demonstrates the craft and culture behind these historical objects.
