Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1730 According to the CTHS - Sociétés Savantes database, this Academy was founded in 1730 as a literary society, and was made an Academy on 1744, July 19 by Louis XV (the names of the society and the academy are not given). According to a Chronologie [a chronology of French scholarly societies at Gallica], the founding name in 1730 was Société Littéraire de Montauban. The name of the Academy in 1744 is established by the catalogue record for its Mélanges de poésie, de littérature et d'histoire (1744/46 - 1747/50). This same name is also seen in a catalogue record in the Bibliot. Nat. France cat. for the following book published in 1788: Éloge de Jean-Jacques Lefranc, marquis de Pompignan, qui a remporté le prix au jugement de l'Académie des Belles-Lettres de Montauban en 1787.
The Chronologie [a chronology of French scholarly societies at Gallica] indicates that this Academy was reconstituted in 1797 (after being suppressed by the Convention in 1793) as the Société des Sciences et Arts de Tarn-et-Garonne, indicating that this was the name that it had from 1797 - 1883. Its publications and the CTHS - Sociétés Savantes database, however, suggest a somewhat more complex history during that time period (see below).
The CTHS - Sociétés Savantes database further indicates that the Academy had the following sequence of names: Société des Sciences, Belles-Lettres et Arts de Tarn-et-Garonne (1867-1876); Société des Sciences, Agriculture et Belles-Lettres de Tarn et Garonne (1877-1878); Société des Sciences, Belles-Lettres et Arts de Tarn-et-Garonne (1879-1883 - i.e. reversion to 1867-1876 form); Académie des Sciences, Belles-Lettres et Arts de Tarn-et-Garonne (1885-1925). It is now called the Académie des Sciences, Belles-Lettres, Arts et Encouragement au Bien de Montauban.
The GBV German Union cat.lists the following publication, which may supply some historical information: Histoire de l'Académie de Montauban: 1740-1867: Discours prononcé / De Broca (by Charles Alexandre de Broca, published in Montauban in 1868). According to the Catalogue Collectif de France the latter is a 47 page document, but there is also a publication entitled: Société littéraire et l'ancienne Académie de Montauban. Histoire de ces sociétés et biographie de tous les Académiciens, 2e éd. (by Emerand Forestié, 1888, Montauban, 312 p.)
