Canon or abbot Antoine Sabarthès, full name Antoine Auguste Sabarthès, (27 May 1854 – 19 February 1944) was a French ecclesiastic, writer and historian, a specialist of the Aude department.
A poorly publicized figure, not much is known about the life of Abbé Sabarthès, who lived until his 90th birthday. Only his works will be taken from him.
He entered the seminary in Carcassonne, where he studied and was ordained in 1878. He became a priest of the diocese of Carcassonne. After several assignments in villages, he devoted himself to the study of society, the church and the territories administered by it; He published several works in Latin, Occitan and French.[1]
Nowadays, Sabarthès is synonymous with reference for all that concerns the Aude department. He was a member of numerous Société Savantes de France, an adherent and publicist for many years to the "Société d'études scientifiques de l'Aude", the "Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques", the "Société des Arts et Sciences de Carcassonne" and the "Commission archéologique et littéraire de Narbonne".[1]
He began by publishing numerous essays on his work in the drafting stage, limited to specific subjects, but his major work is undoubtedly the Dictionnaire topographique du département de l'Aude published in 1912, providing details on all the cantons and villages of the department, from archival works now missing, making the correspondences between the ancient and modern names of the places.
