介绍（中）	这个首字母来自一本五卷本的《圣经》，体积雄伟，装饰华丽，属于蓬提尼的西多会修道院。12世纪，这座位于森教区的修道院是托马斯·贝克特殉难前学者的天堂和避难所。然而，在法国大革命期间，修道院著名的图书馆被没收并被忽视。值得注意的是，同一本《圣经》的首字母和另一个字母（根据编号1999.364.1）都保存了下来。它们的保存在很大程度上要归功于19世纪的图书出版商，他们认可它们非凡的设计成就首字母标志着《利未记》的开启：Vocavit autem-Moysen，et locutus est di Dominus de tabernaculo（主召了摩西，在帐幕里对他说话）。这封信代表了大胆的调色板和充满活力的色彩并置，而不是西多会所回避的金色或人物形象。雄壮的狮子在环绕的藤蔓中心摆出姿势，它拥有螺旋弹簧的所有能量。这种活力，加上微妙的线条节奏和自信的叶片装饰，使最初的作品成为1200年左右复杂美学的体现。
介绍（英）	This initial comes from a five-volume Bible, imposing in size and vigorously decorated, that belonged to the Cistercian abbey of Pontigny. In the twelfth century this monastery in the diocese of Sens was a scholar's haven and a place of refuge for Thomas Becket before his martyrdom. During the French Revolution, however, the monastery's celebrated library was confiscated and neglected. The initial and another from the same Bible (acc. no. 1999.364.1) remarkably, have survived. Their preservation is due in large part to the nineteenth-century book publishers who recognized their extraordinarily accomplished design. The initial signaled the opening of the Book of Leviticus: Vocavit autem Moysen, et locutus est di Dominus de tabernaculo (And the Lord called Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle). In lieu of gold or figural imagery, which were eschewed by the Cistercian order, the letter represents a bold palette and vibrant juxtapositions of color. With robust striding lions posed at the center of encircling vines, it has all the energy of coiled spring. This vitality, combined with subtle cadence of line and the confidently painted foliate ornament, makes the initial the embodiment of the sophisticated aesthetic of the years around 1200.
