5 ars

ars, artis, f. [v. arma], skill in joining something, combining, working it, etc., with the advancement of Roman culture, carried entirely beyond the sphere of the common pursuits of life, into that of artistic and scientific action, just as, on the other hand, in mental cultivation, skill is applied to morals, designating character, manner of thinking, so far as it is made known by external actions (syn.: doctrina, sollertia, calliditas, prudentia, virtus, industria, ratio, via, dolus).
I.
Skill in producing any material form, handicraft, trade, occupation, employment (technê).

1.
With the idea extended, any physical or mental activity, so far as it is practically exhibited; a profession, art ( music, poetry, medicine, etc.); acc. to Roman notions, the arts were either liberales or ingenuae artes, arts of freemen, the liberal arts; or artes illiberales or sordidae, the arts, employments, of slaves or the lower classes.
a.
In gen.:
Eleus Hippias gloriatus est nihil esse ullā in arte rerum omnium, quod ipse nesciret: nec solum has artes, quibus liberales doctrinae atque ingenuae continerentur, geometriam, musicam, litterarum cognitionem et poëtarum, atque illa, quae de naturis rerum, quae de hominum moribus, quae de rebus publicis dicerentur, sed anulum, quem haberet, pallium, quo amictus, soccos, quibus indutus esset, se suā manu confecisse,
Cic. de Or. 3, 32, 127:
Jam de artificiis et quaestibus, qui liberales habendi, qui sordidi sint, haec fere accepimus. Primum improbantur ii quaestus, qui in odia hominum incurrunt, ut portitorum, ut feneratorum. Illiberales autem et sordidi quaestus mercenariorum omniumque, quorum operae, non artes emuntur: est enim in illis ipsa merces auctoramentum servitutis... Opificesque omnes in sordidā arte versantur... Quibus autem artibus aut prudentia major inest aut non mediocris utilitas quaeritur, ut medicina, ut architectura, ut doctrina rerum honestarum, hae sunt iis, quorum ordini conveniunt, honestae,

id. ib. 1, 23, 108: nihil est quod ad artem redigi possit, nisi ille prius, qui illa tenet. quorum artem instituere vult, habeat illam scientiam (sc. dialecticam), ut ex iis rebus, quarum ars nondum sit, artem efficere possit, id. ib. 1, 41, 186:
ars juris civilis,
id. ib. 1, 42, 190:
(Antiochus) negabat ullam esse artem, quae ipsa a se proficisceretur. Etenim semper illud extra est, quod arte comprehenditur... Est enim perspicuum nullam artem ipsam in se versari, sed esse aliud artem ipsam, aliud, quod propositum sit arti,
id. Fin. 5, 6, 16; id. ad Q. Fr. 1, 1, 9; id. Cael. 30, 72; id. Or. 1, 4:
vir bonus optimisque artibus eruditus,
Nep. Att. 12, 4: ingenium docile, come, ap-tum ad artes optimas, id. Dion, 1, 2 al.—
C. 1.
The theory of any art or science: ars est praeceptio, quae dat certam viam rationemque faciendi aliquid, Auct. ad Her. 1, 1;
Asper, p. 1725 P.: non omnia, quaecumque loquimur, mihi videntur ad artem et ad praecepta esse revocanda,
not every thing is to be traced back to theory and rules, Cic. de Or. 2, 11, 44: res mihi videtur esse facultate ( in practice) praeclara, arte ( in theory) mediocris;
ars enim earum rerum est, quae sciuntur: oratoris autem omnis actio opinionibus, non scientiā continetur,
id. ib. 2, 7, 30; id. Ac. 2, 7, 22.—In later Lat. ars is used,
a.
Absol. for grammatical analysis, grammar:
curru non, ut quidam putant, pro currui posuit, nec est apocope: sed ratio artis antiquae, etc.,
Serv. ad Verg. A. 1, 156; 1, 95: et hoc est artis, ut (vulgus) masculino utamur, quia omnia Latina nomina in us exeuntia, si neutra fuerint, tertiae sunt declinationis, etc., id. ad eund. ib. 1, 149: secundum artem dicamus honor, arbor, lepor: plerumque poëtae r in s mutant, id. ad eund. ib. 1, 153 al.—Hence also,
b.
As a title of books in which such theories are discussed, for rhetorical and, at a later period, for grammatical treatises.
(α).
Rhetorical:
quam multa non solum praecepta in artibus, sed etiam exempla in orationibus bene dicendi reliquerunt!
Cic. Fin. 4, 3, 5:
ipsae rhetorum artes, quae sunt totae forenses atque populares,
id. ib. 3, 1, 4: neque eo dico, quod ejus (Hermagorae) ars mihi mendosissime scripta videatur; nam satis in eā videtur ex antiquis artibus ( from the ancient works on rhetoric) ingeniose et diligenter electas res collocāsse, id. Inv. 1, 6 fin.:
illi verbis et artibus aluerunt naturae principia, hi autem institutis et legibus,
id. Rep. 3, 4, 7:
artem scindens Theodori,
Juv. 7, 177.—
(β).
Grammar:
in artibus legimus superlativum gradum non nisi genitivo plurali jungi,
Serv. ad Verg. A. 1, 96: ut in artibus lectum est, id. ad eund. ib. 1, 535.—So Ars, as the title of the later Lat. grammars: Donati Ars Grammatica, Cledonii Ars, Marii Victorini Ars, etc.; v. the grammarians in Gothofred., Putsch., Lindem., Keil.—
2.
The knowledge, art, skill, workmanship, employed in effecting or working upon an object (Fr. adresse):
majore quādam opus est vel arte vel diligentiā,

Ov. H. 3, 32: qui canit arte, canat;
qui bibit arte, bibat,
id. A. A. 2, 506:
arte laboratae vestes,
Verg. A. 1, 639:
plausus tunc arte carebat,
was void of art, was natural, unaffected, Ov. A. A. 1, 113.—
3.
(Concr.) The object artistically formed, a work of art:
clipeum efferri jussit Didymaonis artis,
Verg. A. 5, 359:
divite me scilicet artium, Quas aut Parrhasius protulit aut Scopas,
Hor. C. 4, 8, 5; id. Ep. 1, 6, 17.—
4.
Artes (personified), the Muses:
artium chorus,
Phaedr. 3, prol. 19.—
II.
Transf. from mind to morals, the moral character of a man, so far as it is made known by actions, conduct, manner of acting, habit, practice, whether good or bad:
si in te aegrotant artes antiquae tuae,
your former manner of life, conduct, Plaut. Trin. 1, 2, 35; cf. Hor. C. 4, 15, 12; Plaut. Trin. 2, 1, 6 Lind.:
nempe tuā arte viginti minae Pro psaltriā periere,
Ter. Ad. 4, 7, 24:
quid est, Quod tibi mea ars efficere hoc possit amplius?
my assiduity, id. And. 1, 1, 4:
Hac arte (i. e. constantiā, perseverantiā) Pollux et vagus Hercules Enisus arces attigit igneas,
Hor. C. 3, 3, 9:
multae sunt artes (i. e. virtutes) eximiae, hujus administrae comitesque virtutis (sc. imperatoris),
Cic. Imp. Pomp. 13; id. Fin. 2, 34, 115; id. Verr. 2, 4, 37 Zumpt:
nam imperium facile his artibus retinetur, quibus initio partum est,
Sall. C. 2, 4 Kritz; so id. ib. 5, 7:
cultusque artesque virorum,
Ov. M. 7, 58:
mores quoque confer et artes,
id. R. Am. 713: praeclari facinoris aut artis [p. 167] bonae famam quaerere, Sall. C. 2, 9; so id. ib. 10, 4:
animus insolens malarum artium,
id. ib. 3, 4; so Tac. A. 14, 57.—Hence also, absol. in mal. part. as in Gr. technê for cunning, artifice, fraud, stratagem:
haec arte tractabat virum,
Ter. Heaut. 2, 3, 125 (cf. Ov. H. 17, 142):
capti eādem arte sunt, quā ceperant Fabios,
Liv. 2, 51; 3, 35:
at Cytherea novas artes, nova pectore versat Consilia,
Verg. A. 1, 657; so id. ib. 7, 477:
ille dolis instructus et arte Pelasgā,
id. ib. 2, 152:
talibus insidiis perjurique arte Sinonis Credita res, etc.,
id. ib. 2, 195:
fraudes innectere ponto Antiquā parat arte,
Luc. 4, 449:
tantum illi vel ingenii vel artis vel fortunae superfuit,
Suet. Tit. 1:
