Student library info ▿The Student library info pertains to the period when Beckett was a student at Trinity College Dublin (1923-1927) and a lecturer at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris and TCD (1928-1931). It explains when he is thought to have acquired and read the book in question, based on his inscription, as well as various external sources including the official TCD college calendars, his 'Dream' Notebook, and his letters.Read: February 1930.
The lines in the margin indicate either Beckett's reading or his friend Jean Beaufret's. The copy first belonged to Beaufret who was reading it together with Beckett. It is, thus, difficult to determine the author of these non-verbal traces.
