Here is an interesting pen-and-ink drawing that bears a certain family-resemblance to the "supposition dragon."
The inscription reads, "Quaestia [sic] subtilissima, utrum Chimera in vacuo bombinans possit comedere secundas intentiones, et fuet [sic] debatata per decem hebdomades in consilio Constantiensi." It is a slightly corrupted version of the quotation from Rabelais that served as the inspiration for the title of Desmond Paul Henry’s book Quaestio subtilissima.
I found this drawing at http://bolizm.ihep.su/333/art/gomun/931216.html.
