Krafft notes that dragons are rarely or never found in Germany but says one was found in Bohemia a few years ago and that they are more common in Nubia Libya and the largest ones in "Indien" probably meaning the East Indies and perhaps based on reports of the Komodo dragon.With an owner's inscription of Stefan von Clodt 1674-1737 Vicar General and Provost of Michaelsberg in Fulda on the title-page of vol.
