quid quod et inspectione et exercitatione ut artes ceterae constat? nec potest ars non esse, si est ars dialectice, quod fere constat, cum ab ea specie magis quam genere differat. sed nec illa omittenda sunt, qua in re alius se inartificialiter alius artificialiter gerat, in ea esse artem, et in eo quod, qui didicerit, melius faciat quam qui non didicerit, esse artem.
