Seems that the Latin word "draco" meant indifferently dragon or snake.  I somehow had the impression that, in the Medieval mind, dragons were viewed as a species of snake (rather than, say, of lizard or crocodile).  

Thus I suppose that the Snake of Genesis, being a particularly evil snake, had to be a dragon...

All the best, --stolfi
