Nouveau document sur le dragon volant de Burattini / René Taton.
Abstract:
A second copy of the T. L. Burattini's manuscript on the human flying, originally among Roberval's papers, is preserved in the Archives of the "Académie des Sciences" in Paris. The text has been edited in this Review (1977) by Mrs. K. Targosz. This manuscript contains a reduced plan of the outer part of the "flying dragon" and references to Blaise Pascal and his address; it bears also witness to the interest of Parisian scholars to the Burattini's fleeting discovery
