Bibliography on the subject at end of article.

Paramount is the place that Greece in the work of Saint-John Perse : d’Praise at Nocturne, designated or hidden, it exceeds the status of a cultural. En effet, recourse to Greece illuminates an obscure text known, while serving options modernity

Therefore, we can not be surprised that the poet's library, preserved almost in its entirety to the Saint-John Perse Foundation, is particularly rich in works, articles, photographic documents, etc., Referring near or far, in totalité or partie, Greece to yesterday and today.

In the apparent chaos of a library hides the isotopy interest Founder.

This catalog Fund "Greece" offers researchers to reconstruct the major themes.

A. Textbooks and university Greek Alexis Leger.

Except textbooks came to the Foundation, it is very difficult to know in detail what were the textbooks of Greek Alexis Leger : National Archives, records of the Royal College of Pau, Imperial College became, High School and Pau, stop in 1879 (T Series, F17 7938-7947).

The following list, although reduced, may nevertheless be virtually completed by crossing two specific sources : firstly Issue devoted to the Greek Emmanuelle Collection Textbooks in France 1789 our days, published in 1987 by the National Institute of Educational Research, other official content of curricula – programs – under Greek studies (ie orders of 28 janvier 1890 and 31 mai 1902).

References to texts with annotations are preceded by an asterisk, and when these two annotations are important. The record is most often complemented by a comment bracketed rights.

[<cote Fondation 107 BOI c>. Hommage de l’auteur + signature ill.
The book is by author, "Conforms to the latest programs, tracking the history of philosophy and dissertations topics given in the Faculty of Letters of Paris notions ". So it would be a book rather for young students and high school students. This reading does it fit in the Leger expressed interest in philosophy in his letter to Monod October 1906 ? (OC, p. 646-647). The work must not have been dedicated to the intention of Leger. Other publications by the same author, it is, Esperanto : Monadologio (trad. de Leibniz). It is tempting to infer a passing interest Leger for this language and make a connection with his statement "It is not for me to write international" in his acceptance speech of the Grand Prix National des Lettres in 1959 (OC, p. 572).
The only biography of Emile Boirac is in Encyclopedia Universal Ilustrada. EuropeoAmericana, t. VIII, Barcelona (s.d.), p. 1361. On Greek philosophy, some are annotated pages, including P.. 398 (on skepticism), 464-465 (Aristotle and movement), 474 (pantheism) and 527 (cornea page, of Stoic morality)]

Book clearly studied in class, according to the annotations that denote an even school level knowledge of Greek. Selon Alain Choppin, author of the introduction to the repertoire of Greek textbooks (coll. Emmanuelle), it comes with "certainty" of a school book (p. 11 and 115, Catalogue No. 665). Moreover, it bears the note 'program of secondary education 28.01.1890 »]

*EGGER Max, Histoire de la littérature grecque, 5e éd., Librairie classique Paul Delaplane, Paris, 1892.

[<cote Fondation 880 EGG>.
Choppin given to this book (EGGER now) a "strong presumption" of belonging to the category of textbooks (p. 11 and 114, Catalogue No. 655). It would meet the requirement to study the history of Greek literature from the second class, defined both in the order of 1890 than in 1902. It is therefore likely that in this book Leger found a first presentation of Greek authors, accompanied by the author of a bibliographical section "especially for students and professors of the Faculties of Secondary Education" (p. XII of the Warning), making it a reference book for years post-baccalaureate also.
A relative dating of annotations is possible here that the bibliography p. 112 sur Pindare, and annotated by Leger, is much less elaborate than Monod requested in the letter of July 1909, which also confirm the general character of this book]

Mention « Alexis Léger [sic] 1905 ».
Introduction Annotated very, apparently by another hand than Leger, unlike the annotations on the title page of writing easily due to Leger. The fact that the book was well baccalaureate program new regime 1902 (year 1904 for A. Army), under philosophy books, and the acute accent "Light" already seems incongruous, it is possible that the entire reference was added by someone else (a sister ?).
Leger will soon be a personal opinion of the school of practical philosophy of Stoicism, he recuse in May 1906. See in this regard the letter of May Monod 1906, OC, p. 643-646 and that Claudel August 1 1949, OC, p. 1016-1018]

Metric provision to this edition is not the Alexandrian colorimetrically distribution outlet that Saint-John Perse, as he told Monod in July 1909 (OC, p. 659) and Claudel 10 June 1911 (OC, p. 722).
The Greek text of this edition is edited by Theobald Fix, which explains the image correcting it in the eyes of Leger : see in this respect the letter Leger Gide (OC,
p. 772). However, the Pythian have not been studied at school, but after the baccalaureate, from 1904-1905, after his Biography, perhaps a little later actually.
The whole work, Only two words are underlined in the Greek text, even those that Leger cites Claudel in his letter of 29 mai 1911 (OC, p. 720), praising their beauty "words enemies" : "Kataojcsjmenod &§ If ripai [Antistr. I] 3 ». (in the original Greek text, terms are interchanged).
The footnote No. 3 the letter refers to Claudel comment added by Saint-John Perse in the establishment of the Pléiade edition of (OC, p. 1215). He gives the translation of Greek terms : "" Held "by your" pulse " (Ode to Hiero Etna, verse 1-9, 10) ». This translation is the educational publishing presented here (p. 8-9), which is further evidence that this edition has been the basis of work Leger for his translations, as already said Françoise HENRY, Saint-Leger Leger translator of Pindar, Gallimard, p. 16, No. 30 ; see also p. 76, No. 16-17]

Mention "Alexis Leger, Pau, mai 1905 » : at that time, A. L. Bachelor is already.
Given the date and the fact that Crito was not high school curriculum Leger, can be reasonably assumed that reading was made on the occasion of course freely taken at the University of Bordeaux, especially as Professor Georges Rodier, repeatedly mentioned by Saint-John Perse, dispense a course on Plato 1904-1905, under the Courses and Conferences University]

Volume I was sent by the author in July 1965. It was extremely annotated by the poet. Curiously, there is a second copy of the same work, also extremely annotated : it is between 1971 and 1974, according Mireille Sacotte, that Saint-John Perse asked him to provide theEmpedocles de Bollack. This request is due or because he thought he had lost the volume sent, or because he was in a country other than that in which the work in question was. Volume I focuses on the testimony of Aristotle and restores the physical Empedocles from the fragments and testimonies, proposing a new classification and numbering]

Lack of space, this inventory is limited to works, Articles and iconographic documents of the fund. It does not include references to the Greek world in the correspondence, published and unpublished, from / to / Saint-John Perse, or references to the Greek world of publishing Complete Works of the Pleiades, which are due to Saint-John Perse, neither the Index of proper names annotated Greek which was compiled. Only one instance convinced of the usefulness of the latter instrument : a researcher who wanted to study the influence of Plato on Saint-John Perse, for example, already know that his name was 6 Once spotted by the poet in The Aesthetics of Plotinus Edward Krakowski (1929), 11 Once in theEmpedocles I de Bollack (1965), 5 both the birth of philosophy at the time of the Greek tragedy of Fr. Nietzsche (1938). For the study of the Greek world in the work of Saint-John Perse is not over. While one should not overestimate the importance of positive traces of Greek readings of the poet - proof is, if it were, no less remarkable and significant absence of Plutarch or Parmenides, who fertilized Anabasis - They reveal the status of the reference, ambition of scholarship, re-creation of the ancient in modern, and contribute in this way to patiently untangle the web of implicit poetics of Saint-John Perse. This catalog can contribute to generate new discoveries in the way of understanding this.
