Citation :The Dragon has been a popular figure in literature from ancient times to the present day. Apparently, it also represents a stereotype: it still embodies evil, chaos, the hostile principle and even the devil. This study asks what role specifically medieval literature has in the interpretation of the figure of the dragon. Taking into account various sources from Christian, natural historic, folk-linguistic and literary contexts, this monograph comprehensively and systematically examines the figure of the dragon in the Middle Ages. Famous dragons such as the antagonists of the heroes Beowulf, Siegfried, Wigalois or St. George are presented alongside creatures taken from compendia on natural history, including works by Albertus Magnus or Konrad Gesner, and assessed in terms of their appearance, their character and their meaning. In this way a multi-faceted image is developed whose framework cannot only be defined in terms of the negative attributes listed above.
