7 liberal arts from 9 disciplines

Varro's nine disciplines gave birth to the seven liberal arts as we have them today. One of the missing two was preserved in the FC degree. Which one was it?

I 'm guessing you're referring to architecture since we refer to the five orders of architecture.

Reading the image you posted, I don't see much medicine taught at lodge unless specific brothers are encouraged to let loose doing shop talk. Not really surprising as Masonry emerged from the guilds who built the cathedrals.

Yes cog41 I am referring to architecture and the five orders. But what seems most myterious to me the absence of the art of medicine. Under closer examination, Bro. D, I find relationship between the art of medicine the introduction to alchemical principles in the FC. Sulfur, Mercury, etc. Medicine being chiefly maintaining one state(health) or transmuting from a lower state to a higher state of health.
