通過以上比較,我們可以看到文集墓誌具有其他類型文章少有的特殊性,即墓誌作者只有不完全的“著作權”,或曰墓誌作者“著作權”的不完整性,可能由於墓主家人認爲墓誌刻好後反正要封閉在墓穴中,包括墓誌作者在内的一般人不會再看到,即使修改也無人知曉,因此對墓誌作者的初稿大多進行了修改增補,例如前舉竇牟墓誌,在叙述其父事跡時增加了“與李華善,後生歸之”一句,以及竇牟夫人的情况,增補後的墓誌估計没有經過作者韓愈認可,甚至韓愈可能根本就不知道,這樣一來,雖然石刻墓誌作者署的是韓愈的名字,但實際内容却與初稿不同,而這種不同往往作者並不知道,那些出現在“作者韓愈”撰寫的石刻墓誌中的文字,却有一部分並非出自韓愈,作者的“著作權”就這樣被他人實際分割了,這樣一種由他人任意改動原作者文字而又不經原作者過目的作法,在墓誌之外其他類型的文章中很少看到,於是造成了文集墓誌與石刻墓誌除誤書誤刻外的其他種種不同無法查驗的後果,這一點,是我們閲讀分析文集墓誌與石刻墓誌的異同時要特别加以留意的。
以上所論,恐多錯謬,敬請批評爲盼。
