Sažetak
Based on the content analysis, as well as on the established tradition of the Renaissance and early modern narrative sources concerning the art of flying, this article critically considers and disputes the hypothesis established by a number of Croatian 20th century scientists that the English mathematician and bishop John Wilkins (1614 − 1672) described in his work Mathematical Magick (London, 1648) the parachute jump of Faust Vrančić from a tower in Venice.
