Help with a definition

[Helena Calogeridis]

Hi all:
One of my German profs is using a Russian text for his research and stumbled over the following word: трагедийный (as opposed to трагический or трагичный).
A number of print and online dictionaries was consulted without much success, when trying to distinguish among the meanings of "tragic". Perhaps a Russian native speaker might help us best with these nuances.
Thank you in advance for any help with this. Helena
