History

[edit]

TheMartyrologyofAdogives St. Front as the first bishop of Périgueux;Saint Peteris said to have sent him to this town with the St. George to whom later traditions assign the foundation of the church ofLe Puy.Subsequent biographies, which appeared between the 10th and 13th centuries, make St. Front's life one with that ofSt. Fronto of Nitria,thereby giving it an Egyptian colouring. At all events we know by theChronicle ofSulpicius Severusthat a Bishop of Périgueux, Paternus, was deposed for heresy about 361.

Among its bishops are:

TheAbbey of Saint-Sauveur of Sarlat,later placed under the patronage ofSt. Sacerdos of Limoges,seems to have existed before the reigns ofPepin the ShortandCharlemagnewho came there in pilgrimage and because of their munificence deserved to be called "founders" in a Bull ofPope Eugene III(1153). About 936St. Odo, Abbot of Cluny,was sent to reform the abbey. The abbey was made an episcopal see bypope John XXII,on 13 January 1318.
