        The Otium as space dedicated to the literature of ideas was set up institutionally by Cicero toward the end of his life and the death throes of the Republic. The onerous climate of civil confrontation and violence shackled the freedom of political discourse and so Rhetoric will seek an inevitable shelter in both Otium and privacy. The oral and public word, lacking the necessary context of speech-freedom, ceased to be rhetorically effective. Thus, from this moment on, the (now only) written word stands in solitude as the unique tool able to legitimize knowledge (docere), fascination (delectare) and persuasion (movere) of language. The purpose of this paper is to describe and to interpret the topics of these "literary Otia" and the "vigils or lucubrationes", that occupy the "dead times" left by the negotia as "literary surpluses", from their first coinage by Cicero, Pliny and Aulus Gellius, through the thresholds of the Policraticus by John of Salisbury (1159), to the two miscellaneous humanistic models of the Annotationes centum by Filippo Beroaldo the Elder (1488) and the Tertia quinquagena by Antonius de Nebrissensis (1516).
        El ocio como espacio consagrado a la literatura de ideas lo configura institucionalmente Cicerón hacia el final de su vida y en coincidencia con los estertores de la República. El oneroso clima de violencia y enfrentamiento civil aherroja la libertad del discurso político y la retórica buscará refugio forzoso en el ocio y en la privacidad. La palabra oral y pública sin el necesario contexto de libertad expresiva ha dejado de ser retóricamente eficaz. Así, la palabra (ahora ya sólo) escrita y en soledad se erige desde este momento en la única capaz de legitimar el conocimiento (docere), la fascinación (delectare) y la persuasión (mouere) del lenguaje. Nuestro propósito es describir e interpretar la tópica de estos "ocios literarios" y las "vigilias o lucubraciones" eruditas, que ocupan los "tiempos muertos" dejados por los negotia o en calidad de "excedentes literarios", desde sus primeras acuñaciones en Cicerón, Plinio y Aulo Gelio, delimitando los umbrales del Policraticus de Juan de Salisbury (1159), hasta alcanzar dos modélicas misceláneas humanísticas: las Annotationes centum de Filippo Beroaldo el Viejo (1488) y la Tertia quinquagena de Antonio de Nebrija (1516).
