    I might find here one of my pawned schoolprizes. Stephano Dedalo, alumno optimo, palmam ferenti.

 Stephen is browsing the stalls of a used book dealer around Bedford lane.

 

According to A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man the prequel to Ulysses, he studied at the prestigious Jesuit-run Belvedere College. He was an honors student, with excellent grades in writing and tuition waivers. Schoolprizes are awards that he received at this school. I suppose he received books as prizes.

 

Curé of Ars refers to Jean-Marie Vianney (1786 - 1859), a parish priest in France. There was a short documentary film Ars (1960) directed by Jacques Demy.
