[split] f25v little dragon parallels

[-JKP-]

Maybe it is just an influence of Tarasque image, without its meaning, but means just any dragon?

Searcher, the Tarasque/Tarask is a very specific monster.

It is related to the legend of St. Martha (she tamed it). There are many different interpretations of it, but most of them will give it a humpback or turtle-back. The face varies greatly, sometimes a turtle face (flat), sometimes a dragon or muzzled face (long and narrow). The legs also vary, sometimes four, sometimes six. Sometimes it's spiny, sometimes hairy. They still celebrate it.

I know, JKP. But this dragon and images in such look, as I understand, became famous exactly in France. I mean this. If I'm not mistaken.

Yes, that's correct. It was regional. Which means if the dragon-like critter in the VMS were a Tarask, it was probably drawn by someone who had been in France or who corresponded with people in France. It was not widely known otherwise.
