“Mnemonic ornament from the cubiculum from the villa of P. Fannius Synistor, 50-40 BCE. In addition to the peripatetic mode of composition preferred by Antonius, Romans meditated in a reclined position — at times in a more public exedra, at others in the more private cubiculum. 119 The linguistic twining of bed and reading, via Cicero's lectulus, continued into the Renaissance: Castiglione includes the interpolation as an exemplary pun in his discussion of an ideal courtier's sense of humor. 120 However, as evident in such quattrocento portraiture as Antonello da Messina's portrait of St. Jerome, the posture for thought had shifted from a reclined to a seated position; Cicero's "daybed" had been replaced as the furniture-for-musing by the reading lectern.”
