That's the archaic _educational_ sense, then, so one could say that
Christianity was an artistic faith, as the arts were equally such.
I was thinking you were using it in the sense of research, as Aquinas
determining the canonical nature of angels and their process of falling
in the 13th century, two centuries after Alhazed was measuring light
with surveying instruments to make sure it was traveling in a straight line.
