Pey de Garros

Pey de Garros (b. 1530, Lectorue, France - d. 1585, Pau) was a Provençal poet who was instrumental in the evolution of the Gascon dialect into a literary language.

Garros studied law, theology, and Hebrew at the University of Toulouse and served as the avocat-général of Pau for a time. He strove to restore the Gascon dialect to prominence, translating the Psalms of David into the dialect in 1565 and publishing a volume of Gascon Poetry (Poesias gasconas) in 1567.
