He's a very interesting man.

I guess at that time there were still witch hunts and the church was still a great authority, but this is evidence that they did not treat these attempts as heretical beliefs. Incidentally, there is an ongoing TV programme in Japan called 'Bird Man Contest'. The link to the video of this year 2023 is attached.

I am sorry to say that it is only in Japanese, but the bird takes off from around the first minute of the video. Enjoy.
