Antonin Perbosc
Antonin Perbosc is a Poète Occitan, born in 1861 with Labarthe and died in 1944 with Montauban. It was initially Instituteur with Comberouger, a small village to 30 km of Montauban, then with Loze, close to Villefranche-with-Rouergue. He had inculcated in his pupils the interest for the traditions and the inheritance of their area, and had gathered the most impassioned in a " company traditioniste" (51 pupils, girls and boys, between 1900 and 1908).
These pupils collected in their entourage the oral Patrimoine: songs, sayings and proverbs, legends, tales… They noted accurately, without there anything to change, the accounts in local dialect. The youngest pupils, who could not write yet, told with their older comrades, who wrote under their dictation (method very innovating). The work completed by Perbosc and its schoolboys caused the attention of the scientists folklorists to the Congress of the popular Traditions of Paris in 1900. The accounts told by the children were transcribed by Perbosc in phonetic notation, to respect their accent and their intonation. Its publications are currently untraceable. ----
