The Benedictine monastery of La Madeleine, Vezelay (Yonne), has a grand narthex with three portals that present masterpieces of Romanesquc sculpture. Close scrutiny of the portal sculptures, however, reveals diversity in style and stone, irregular masonry, and an unusual two-registered jamb configuration. Scholars inferred that these anomalies resulted from changes of the portal configurations due to the conflagration of 1120 and the later expansion of the narthex, although no theory has been accepted as to the date and configuration of the original portals. This research project, first, collected Viollet-le-Duc's documentation on his Vezelay restoration, second, made observations and took measurements and photographs of the narthex portals and the adjacent masonry work to record their present state, third, created a visualization of the current portals and a hypothetical reconstruction of the original portals based on measurements and observations using AutoCAD, and fourth examined the potential of AutoCAD as a research tool.This research leads the author to conjecture that the final narthex portal configuration of la Madeleine of Vezelay seems to have been reached by dismantling the existing open porch during the narthex expansion around 1140. Though visual observation confirms that an open porch had existed previous to the present narthex, its plan and sections remain pure conjecture. Using AutoCAD as a research tool, this report presents a hypothetical reconstruction with variations of the original simple portals that must have originally faced the open porch.

Vezelay(Yonne)的La Madeleine本笃会修道院有一个宏伟的大教堂，有三个入口，展示着罗马雕塑的杰作。然而，仔细观察门户雕塑，可以发现风格和石头的多样性，不规则的砖石结构，以及不同寻常的两注册立柱配置。学者们推测，这些异常是由于1120年的大火和后来的大教堂扩建而导致的门户配置的变化，尽管关于原始门户的日期和配置还没有被接受的理论。这项研究项目首先收集了Viollet-le-Duc关于他的Vezelay修复的文献，其次，对Narthex门户和邻近的砖石工程进行了观察、测量和拍照，以记录它们的现状，第三，基于测量和观察，创建了当前门户的可视化和假想的原始门户重建，第四，考察了Autocad作为研究工具的潜力。这项研究导致作者猜测，Vezelay的La Madeleine的最后的Narthex门户似乎是通过拆除1140年左右Narthex扩建期间现有的开放门廊而达到的。虽然视觉观察证实，在现在的大教堂之前就已经存在一个开放的门廊，但它的平面和横断面仍然纯粹是猜测。这份报告以AutoCAD作为研究工具，提出了一种假想的重建方案，对原来必须面向开放门廊的简单门户进行了变化。
