Artes mechanicae information


A high medieval construction site from the Maciejowski Bible

Artes mechanicae (mechanical arts) are a medieval concept of ordered practices or skills, often juxtaposed to the traditional seven liberal arts (artes liberales). Also called "servile" and "vulgar",[1] from antiquity they had been deemed "unbecoming" for a free man, as they minister to basic needs.
