Notes:

From the "St. Albans Psalter", created at St. Abans Abbey essentially by Geoffrey de Gorham (or Gorron), Abbot of St. Albans (1119-46). The archangel announces that the old priest shall produce a son, and at the same time, with a touch on the lips, strikes him dumb. The canticle of Zechariah, earning the scene a place in the psalter, is sung after the birth of the Baptist.
