	Words With Wings - Part II
		The first recorded human attempt to fly by means of gliding occurred in 852 A.D. According to the Islamic Times (Nov. 1998), that year a Moor named Armen Firman, living in Cordoba, Spain, made a large cloak resembling wings and jumped from a tower.
		He made no further attempts, and the lesson Firman learned about the aerodynamic shortcomings of garments was lost in time.
		In 875, a chemist and inventor named Abbas Ibn Firmas, who also lived and studied in Cordoba and who had no doubt heard of Armen Firman’s attempt to fly 23 years earlier, built a glider that carried him “for some distance,” according to the Islamic Times.

		Cordova, at the heart of Moorish Spain, was experiencing something of a renaissance, and as it came to be known as Europe’s intellectual center, it was the perfect place to exhibit the latest aviation technology.
		To Armen Firman (pronounced “Air-man Firm-man,” let’s just say) this was a huge canvas cloak, which he donned and leapt with from one of the city’s towers.
		Twenty-three years after Firman made his short drop, Firnas built wings made of feathers mounted on a wooden framework.
