How do you feel about Notker?

“We get along, but I don’t like his ethics pertaining his ‘pupils‘. To give them the Blood, purely to have them yodeling for all eternity rubs me the wrong way.“ @notkerthewise @jadedcreole

Please send literature about dragons.

I just borrowed a large anthology of classic literature to read during off times at work.

Found a refrence to a dragon in Notker Balbulus’ s A Hymn to Holy Women.

Talks about a ladder circled by torments. At the base an attentive dragon stands on guard forever awake.

Implies Immortality or long lived. Serpent Deceiving Is defeated by being hooked in the jaw Desires Virgin women to hold. Very stereotypical dragon. Kinda neat that it’s defending the ladder to heaven.

The next level is guarded by a devil welding a sword. Kinda neat though while implying that the dragon is ferocious that it’s not the devil. Or not as evil as the one who’s defending the ascent

Plus more. Very symbolic kinda fun.

I want to find more and make observations about dragons in classic or obscure literature.

"By the King of the Heavens I think nothing of your nobility and your beauty. Others can admire you. Know this without any doubt; unless you rapidly make up for your idleness by eager effort, you will never recieve any benefit from Charlemagne."  - Emperor Charles the Great (Charlemagne), 800AD
