He insisted that Cyrano's work should not be called a "Comical History" but rather a "Rational History." In 1709 Bartholomeu Lourenco de Gusmao proposed a device he called the Passarola.

Lana never tested his ideas because his "religious poverty" prevented him from spending the hundred Ducats he deemed necessary for "the tryal of so pleasant a curiosity."
While Lana's project never came to fruition, there is some evidence that a Brazilian priest, Bartholomeu Lourenço de Gusmão (1685-1724), flew small paper balloons in 1709 at the court of John V of Portugal, in Lisbon.
A print illustrating "Passarola" ("The Flying Ship," shown at the left), Gusmão's larger project for an airship, began circulating in Europe and appeared with slight variations in many publications.
