medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
"Great French medievalist Jacques Le Goff has written in 1970 a very interesting study on "Culture ecclesiastique et culture folklorique au Moyen Age : Saint Marcel de Paris et le dragon" (last edition in "Un autre Moyen Age", coll. Quarto, Gallimard, Paris, 1999, p. 229-267).

As I recall, St Marcel subdued the dragon by placing his priestly stole on the beast's neck. And I've seen a woodcut of St Bernard doing the same with the devil. Any literature on the use of the stole as weapon?
