Abstract

Abstract Although the dragon has no chapter of its own in the Physiologus and is an animal with almost no characteristics, it is constantly present throughout the book as the enemy of the good. By examining more closely what the dragon in the Physiologus actually is, it is possible to cast new light on the idea of evil in the Physiologus .
