The book, a treatise on Mathematics, shows a woodcut illustration on the cover page with a saucer shaped aircraft flying out of a storm cloud, trailed by lightning bolts.
The work, written in Latin and authored by Johann Caspar Funck, a renowned mathematician of his day, was published in 1716.
A copy of the tome is digitally stored on Google Books, which allows a review of select pages, one of which is this cover page, adorned with the illustration.
