SELLING A LIFETIME COLLECTION OF OLD BOOKS AND MAPS VINTAGE PRINT 113 YEARS OLD ST GEORGE AND THE DRAGON ST GEORGE AFTER SLAYING THE DRAGON THIS PRINT PUBLISHED IN 1910 The episode Saint George and the Dragon appended to the hagiography of Saint George was Eastern in origin,brought back with the Crusaders and retold with the courtly appurtenances belonging to the genre of Romance. The earliest known depictions of the motif are from tenth- or eleventh-century Cappadocia and eleventh-century Georgia; previously, in the iconography of Eastern Orthodoxy, George had been depicted as a soldier since at least the seventh century. The earliest known surviving narrative of the dragon episode is an eleventh-century Georgian text. The dragon motif was first combined with the already standardised Passio Georgii in Vincent of Beauvais' encyclopedic Speculum Historiale, and then Jacobus de Voragine's Golden Legend (ca 1260) guaranteed its popularity in the later Middle Ages as a literary and pictorial subject.The legend gradually became part of the Christian traditions relating to Saint George and was used in many festivals thereafter AUTHENTICITY: This is an original vintage print published at the date stated above.
