LOUŸS, Pierre (1870-1925), écrivain et poète français. M.A. entitled Botany Course. [Circa 1884-1885]. Notebook petit in-4 of 60 pp., original red cloth spine hardcover binding (marked Papeterie des Étudiants et de l'Odéon F. Bénard). Former Louis Barthou collection (Ex-Libris). Beautiful school notebook illustrated with more than sixty drawings by the young Pierre Louÿs. As a title, Louÿs had written in red ink in capital letters: "History of Greek Literature", but used this notebook for the Botany Course. Each lesson (Vegetable Tissues, The Root, The Stem, The Leaf, The Flower, The Fruit, The Seed, Germination, The Sap, etc.) is illustrated on the page facing it by drawings and pencil sketches, all captioned: stem cuts, various roots, branches, palm, flowers, mushrooms, all kinds of plants, seeds, etc.. The notebook still contains his original blotting paper, and a small sheet in-12 on which the young Louÿs noted the ranking of the 30 pupils in his class in Botany composition, himself coming 8th.
