model (subs.) Copy link
Outline
• model (subs.): i. e. a pattern for imitation:
      1. 1. proplasma, ătis, n. (a sculptor's m.): Plin. 35, 12, 45 (opp. to the actual works, opera): Cic. writes the word as Gk., Att. 12, 41, 3.
      2. 2. exemplum, exemplar, āris, n. (anything employed to copy from or imitate): to transfer the truth from a living m. to the mute representation (of a painter), mutum in simulacrum ex animali exemplo veritatem transferre, Cic. Inv. 2, 1, 2: our commonwealth being set forth as a m., exposita ad exemplum nostra rep., Cic. Rep. 1, 46, fin. So with exemplar. ex. proponere sibi ad imitandum, id. Mur. 31, 66: the Greek m.s, Graeca exemplaria, Hor. A. P. 268.
      3. 3. perh. forma: cf. Cic. Fam. 2, 8, f. reipublicae, aedificii; also Suet. Ner. 16, init.: but the sense is plan rather than model. Also in works of art and craft, forma is the mould, not the model: v. mould. (N.B.--Typus [Kr.] is the actual figure, not the model: in Plin. 35, 12, 43, the true reading is prostypa, i. e. bas-reliefs, not protypa [R. and A.]. See also pattern.)

Outline
