介绍（中）	病狮木版画由九幅带有文字绷带的木刻版画和近三百行手稿文本组成，于 1450 年代在巴塞尔地区创作。病狮的寓言构成了中世纪众多文学作品的核心。然而，木版画的具体文本似乎起源于该地区，其木刻图像没有已知的视觉先例。第一版有两个例子;大都会的纸张是后来版本中唯一已知的幸存纸张，可能比原版晚了不到十年。在故事中，除了狐狸之外，所有的动物都来探望生病的狮子。狼告诉狮子，狐狸不在乎他的幸福。狐狸告诉狮子，在四处寻找治疗方法的过程中，他了解到，为了康复，狮子必须活剥狼皮，用温暖的皮肤包裹自己。虽然狐狸似乎是故事的主人公，但读者也告诫说，只有毫无疑问地信任他们的主人——狮子，进而是教会——才能保护他们免受这个世界上狼和狐狸的邪恶。
介绍（英）	The Sick Lion block book, consisting of nine woodcuts with text banderoles and almost three hundred lines of manuscript text, was created in the region of Basel in the 1450s. The fable of the sick lion formed the core of numerous literary works of the medieval period. The specific text of the block book, however, seems to have originated in that region, and its woodcut images have no known visual precedent. Two examples of the first edition exist; the Metropolitan's sheet is the only known surviving sheet from a later edition, copied probably less than a decade after the original. In the story, all the animals except the fox come to visit the sick lion. The wolf tells the lion that the fox does not care about his well-being. The fox gets his revenge by telling the lion that in traveling far and wide seeking a cure, he has learned that in order to get well the lion must skin a wolf alive and wrap himself in the warm skin. Although the fox seems to be the hero of the story, readers are also admonished that only unquestioning trust in their master--the lion, and by extension, the Church--will safeguard them from the evils of both the wolves and foxes of this world.
