介绍（中）	这座修道院坐落在峡谷和瀑布的壮丽景观中，由传奇的阿基坦公爵、查理曼大帝宫廷成员圣威廉（Guilhem）于804年创建。在前往西班牙北部圣詹姆斯圣地（Santiago de Compostella）的路上，圣吉尔姆作为朝圣者的目的地而蓬勃发展这些柱头证明了这位中世纪雕塑家的技艺和想象力。许多模仿古罗马类型的叶子形式；其他的看起来像是被藤蔓覆盖，其中一个正好代表了啤酒花植物的形状。还有一些人讲述了《圣经》中的故事，包括《狮子窝》中的但以理。创造性雕刻的柱子和壁柱模仿棕榈树的树皮、瀑布或树叶簇在法国大革命之后，修道院的许多元素都被当地公民收购了。这里看到的元素是美国雕塑家乔治·格雷·巴纳德在第一次世界大战前购买的。
介绍（英）	Nestled in a dramatic landscape of gorges and waterfalls, the monastery of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, from which this cloister comes, was founded in 804 by Saint William (Guilhem), legendary duke of Aquitaine and a member of the court of Charlemagne. Saint-Guilhem thrived as a pilgrim's destination on the road to the shrine of Saint James (Santiago de Compostela) in northern Spain. The capitals attest to the skill and imagination of the medieval sculptor. Many imitate the leaf forms of ancient Roman types; others appear as if covered by vines, and one precisely represents the form of a hops plant. Still others present stories from the Bible, including Daniel in the Lions' Den. Inventively carved columns and pilasters imitate the bark of a palm tree, cascades of water, or clusters of foliage. In the wake of the French Revolution, many elements of the cloister were acquired by local citizens. The elements seen here were purchased by the American sculptor George Grey Barnard before World War I. The late eleventh-century limestone capital in the center (25.120.246), recut as a font, comes from the Auvergne or Guyenne region of France.
