ΤΑΡΜΠ (Πόλη) ΑΝΩ ΠΥΡΗΝΑΙΑ
Tarba or Turba (Tarbes) Hautes-Pyrenees, France.
The Gallo-Roman town, the civitas Turba or Tarba of the Notitia Galliarum, whose very existence had been called into question, has gradually come to light in the course of construction in Tarbes since 1960. It seems to have been restricted to a fairly small settlement, located on sandbanks surrounded by many rivulets with shifting beds.
Tarbes - Diocese of Tarbes (Tarbia)
The Diocese of Tarbes comprises the Department of the Hautes-Pyrenees (ancient
territory of Bigorre), included in 1802 in the Diocese of Bayonne, re-established
theoretically by the Concordat of 1817 and actually by the Bull of 6 October,
1822.
The new Diocese of Tarbes lost twenty-one parishes which were added
to the Diocese of Bayonne, and twenty to the Archdiocese of Auch; but the parishes
of the country of the Quatre Valees and of the Vallee de Louron, formerly part
of the archdiocese of Auch and the bishopric of Comminges, were reunited to the
Diocese of Tarbes, suffragan of Auch.
Tradition has preserved the names of St. Girinus and St. Evex or Erex,
as the first martyrs of Bigorre. The district was laid waste by the Vandals, who
were afterwards put to flight by St. Missolinus, a priest; it was disturbed by
the Priscillianist heresy and finally terrorized by the Arian Visigoths, who,
in the reign of Ewarik, waged a bloody persecution against the clergy.
Mgr Duchesne considers St. Justin whom the "Gallia Christiana" cites
as the first in the list of bishops of Tarbes, to have been only a priest, and
excludes from the list St. Faustus of Riez. He considers Aper, represented at
the Council of Agde in 506, as the first historically known bishop of the see.
Among the successors are cited: St. Landeolus, bishop in 870; William I (1120-41)
who helped draw up the ancient "For de Bigorre," one of the oldest and most curious
monuments of the law of the middle Ages; Pierre de Foix (1462-64), cardinal in
1437; Gabriel de Gramont (1524-34), cardinal in 1531, who attempted to negotiate
between Henry VIII and the Holy See to prevent a rupture.
The Benedictine monastery of St. Savin of Lavedan was founded by Charlemagne
and shortly took the name of the hermit and miracle worker, St. Savin, who was
one of its monks and died before 840; the abbot was lord of the territory and
the villages under his obedience were called a republic. The Benedictine Abbeys
of St. Orens of Larreule and of St. Orens of Lavedan were founded, one in 970
and the other before the eleventh century in honour of St. Orens, Bishop of Auch,
who had first lived as a hermit in the Lavedan. The monastery of St-Pe de Generes,
was founded about 1032 by Sanche, Duke of Gascony; it was the cradle of the town
of Saint-Pe. The priory of Sarrancolin was founded about 1050 in memory of St.
Ebbons, who fought against the Moors in Catalonia and died at Sarrancolin. The
Abbey of Escale Dieu was founded in 1140; it was the daughter of the Cistercian
Abbey of Morimond. St. Bertrand of Comminges was one of its monks; another, St.
Raymond, was sent to Spain in 1158, where he founded the Abbey of Fitere, and
the celebrated semi-religious, semi-military order of Calatrava. St. Bertrand,
Bishop of Comminges (1073-1123), preached the Gospel in the Vallee d'Azun in the
Diocese of Tarbes. To make amends for the hostile reception that had been given
him, the inhabitants pledged themselves to give the See of Comminges all the butter
that should be produced in the territory of Azun during the week preceding Pentecost;
this impost was paid down to 1789. As natives of Bigorre may be cited: Cardinal
Arnaud d'Ossat (1536-1604), born at Larroque Magnoac, who played an important
part in the reign of Henry IV; Bernard pierre Carasse, born at Tarbes at the opening
of the sixteenth century, who, from being a warrior, became general of the Carthusians,
revised the constitutions of the order, and was so illustrious in his day, that
in 1582 Catherine de Medici visited La Chartreuse to see him.
The fame of the Diocese of Tarbes has been spread throughout the Christian
world since 1858 by the pilgrimages and the miracles of Lourdes. Mention must
also be made of the pilgrimage of Notre Dame de Garraison at Monleon, dating back
to the fifteenth century; that of Notre Dame de Poueylahun near Eaux Bonnes, dating
back to the sixteenth century; the pilgrimage to Mazeres, near the vacant shrine
of St. Liberata, perhaps a martyr under Julian the Apostate; the pilgrimage to
Arreau, to the chapel of St. Exuperius, friend of St. Jerome, who died Archbishop
of Toulouse, about 417, after combating the heresy of Vigilantius.
Before the application of the law of 1901 against the congregations
there were in the Diocese of Tarbes, the Priests of the Immaculate Conception
at Lourdes, Carmelites, and various teaching orders of brothers. Several congregations
of nuns were originally founded in the diocese: the Sisters of St. Joseph, hospitallers
and teachers, with their mother-house at Cantaous; the Sisters of Notre-Dame des
Douleurs, hospitallers, with their mother-house at Tarbes, and a branch house
in Cairo; the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of Notre-Dame de Lourdes, with
their mother-house at Lourdes.
At the close of the nineteenth century the religious congregations
directed in the diocese: 5 schools, 1 home for sick children, 1 school for the
deaf and dumb, 6 girls' orphanages, 6 workshops, 3 homes for the poor, 12 hospitals
or hospices, 3 houses of retreat, 6 houses of nuns devoted to nursing the sick
in their own homes. At the time of the abrogation of the Concordat (1905) the
Diocese of Tarbes contained 215,546 inhabitants, 28 cures, 300 succursal churches,
