dragon - Opis:
- In the article the author tried to show the relations between Chronicle by Gallus Anonymus and Kronika Polska by Wincenty Kadłubek with respect to the use of the Latin words draco and holophagus. In his text Anonymus used the term draco with respect to the main protagonist of his work, Boleslaus III the Wry-mouthed, owing to which the term became a positive epithet describing a ruler. Vincentius Kadłubek borrowed the term draco from Anonymus and used it in the same context; however, to name an evil dragon appearing in Kronika Polska the author created his own term: holophagus. Hence it seems that in Kadłubek's text there is a division into two kinds of dragons: draco – a dragon that has positive connotations, and holophagus that seems to take all the negative associations so far connected with the dragon. In our opinion we owe this division of dragonish terms in Kadłubek's work, holophagus as the evil dragon, and draco – a positive one, or an epithet describing the members of the ruling dynasty, to the source that Vincentius used, which is Gallus Anonymus' Chronicle.
