介绍（中）	这个场景，松散地勾勒出最基本的元素，可能暗示彼得鲁斯·德克鲁斯的真实或想象的旅程，前往位于大马士革和贝鲁特之间朝圣路线上的两个受欢迎的圣地：诺亚建造方舟的圣山和贝鲁特郊外的地方，据说圣乔治在那里杀死了吞噬当地青年的龙。在左上角的岩石露头上是一个带有一个窗户的木结构，旨在代表诺亚方舟。在前景中，Petrus de Cruce（Pierre de la Croix，佛罗里达州13世纪末）站在塔脚下，旁边是一个身份不明的平信徒，手持朝圣者的法杖，指向一条龙。根据普遍的看法，该图像可能指的是龙的受害者等待命运的塔。这幅插图是同一卷中的两幅插图之一，可能归因于年轻的佛罗伦萨艺术家弗拉·安杰利科（Fra Angelico），两者在人物风格和技术上都明显不同。（第二件以前在阿姆斯特丹的柯尼希斯收藏中，现在存放在莫斯科的普希金博物馆。尽管完成度较低，但这两件作品都因其空间清晰度、线性流动性以及自信地使用简单不间断的笔触来表达体积和结构而脱颖而出。
介绍（英）	This scene, loosely sketched in its most essential elements, may allude to Petrus de Cruce's real or imaginary journey to two popular holy sites located on the pilgrimage route between Damascus and Beirut: the holy mountain where Noah built his ark and the place outside Beirut where Saint George supposedly slayed the dragon that was devouring the local youth. On a rocky outcrop at the upper left is a wooden structure with one window, meant to represent Noah's ark. In the foreground, Petrus de Cruce (Pierre de la Croix, fl. Late 13th century) is shown standing at the foot of a tower next to an unidentified lay figure holding a pilgrim's staff and pointing toward a dragon. The image might refer to the tower where, according to popular belief, the dragon's victims awaited their fate. This illustration is one of two from the same roll that may be attributed to the young Florentine artist Fra Angelico, both being markedly distinct in figural style and technique. (The second, formerly in the Koenigs Collection in Amsterdam, is now on deposit at the Pushkin Museum, Moscow.) Despite their less-finished quality, both works stand out for their spatial clarity, linear fluidity, and confident use of simple uninterrupted pen strokes to articulate volume and structure.
