介绍（中）	中世纪库存和费用账户中的 Etui 是各种材料和尺寸的存储或旅行容器的总称。十四世纪初的一个这样的清单逐项列出了一个小的étui de cuir bouilli，被法国国王查理六世的画家Jehan d'Orléans购买以容纳一幅画。cuir bouilli一词，字面意思是"煮熟的皮革"，用于描述特定类型的皮革装饰。浸泡在树脂或蜡的温溶液中，使其柔软而有弹性，将皮革模制成所需的形状。然后将装饰图案加工或印在表面上，并经常以颜色、镀金或冲孔突出显示。还提到了胸甲布集的小étui，这些胸衣是专门为附在服装上的而设计的。这些物品用于携带羽毛笔、墨水井、书籍、餐具和其他个人物品，经常出现在 15 世纪的绘画和手稿插图中。这辆意大利表款有两个内部隔层，旨在容纳一把刀和勺子，并刻有"善意的美好"[一颗心];铭文末尾出现的工具心取代了实际的单词。
介绍（英）	Etui in medieval inventories and expense accounts was a general term for storage or travel containers of various materials and sizes. One such inventory of the early fourteenth century itemizes a small étui de cuir bouilli, was purchased to hold a painting by Jehan d’Orléans, painter to King Charles VI of France. The term cuir bouilli, literally, "boiled leather," is used to describe a particular type of leather decoration. Soaked in a lukewarm solution of resin or wax to make it soft and flexible, the leather was molded into the desired shape. Decorative patterns were then tooled or impressed on the surface and often highlighted in color, gilding, or punching. References are also made to small étui of cuir bouilli which were designed specifically to be attached to one’s costume. Used to carry quill pens, ink wells, books, cutlery, and other personal possessions, these objects are frequently depicted in fifteenth-century paintings and manuscript illuminations. This Italian example has two interior compartments designed to contain a knife and spoon, and is inscribed A BONA FEDE DE TEL BON ("in good faith of so good" [a heart]); the tooled heart that appears at the end of the inscription replaces the actual word.
