介绍（中）	在这里，字母"R"打开了引子，或入口赞美诗"Rorate caeli de super"（天哪，从上面往下滴露水），在报喜节上演唱。这一节日是教会日历上最重要的节日之一，庆祝大天使加百列向圣母玛利亚宣布她将成为耶稣的母亲。这片叶子是从多明尼加唱诗班的一本书上剪下来的，上面精美地描绘了这一时刻。大天使和圣母的雕像可能是由圣卡塔琳娜塔尔修道院的修女们绘制的，照片的背景是抛光的金色。圣母举起双手，圣灵的鸽子在她耳边低语。人物面部的细节精致、身体的细长摆动和场景的亲密尺度是许多相关剪报的特征，所有这些都被认为来自同一手稿。
介绍（英）	Here, the letter “R” opens the Introit, or entrance hymn, “Rorate caeli de super” (Drop down dew, you heavens, from above), sung on the Feast of the Annunciation. This feast day was one of the most important in the Church calendar, celebrating the Archangel Gabriel’s announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would be the mother of Jesus. That moment is exquisitely illustrated on this leaf, which was cut from a Dominican choir book. Probably painted by the nuns of the convent of Sankt Katharinenthal, the figures of the Archangel and the Virgin are pictured against a burnished gold background. The Virgin lifts both hands as the dove of the Holy Ghost whispers in her ear. The detailed refinement of the figures’ faces, the elongated sway of their bodies, and the intimate scale of the scene are characteristic of a number of related cuttings, all thought to come from the same manuscript.
