History

[edit]

The history of this term extends much further back than the article suggests, and the idea did not originate in English. I haven't had time to expand the section, and hope others will jump in. My strong impression is that the term comes from Latin or Greek. It has a parallel history in French as arts et lettres. — ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB 16:59, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
