Talleyrand (de PEincoitD), Elie, a French prel- ate, was born at Perigueux in 1301, and was educated for the priesthood at the school of St. Front in that town. He became successively archdeacon of Peri- gueu.x, dean of Richmond (diocese of York), abbot of Chancelas, and (Oct. 10, 1324) bishop of Limoges, al- though he was not consecrated because of his youth ; and in 1328 he was translated to the see of Auxerre, though he continued to reside at Oudan, engaged in lit- erary studies. He was created cardinal ]May 22, 1331, and thenceforth became active in public affairs, in which he experienced many remarkable adventures. He died at Avignon, Jan. 17, 1364, leaving a vast fort- une. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biofj. Generate, s. v.
Tallis, Thomas, a celebrated English musician, flourishetl about the middle of the 16th century. Un- der queen Elizabeth he became gentleman of the royal chapel and organist. Although he was a diligent collector of musical antiquities, and a careful peru- ser of the works of other men, his compositions are so truly original that he may justly be said to be the father of the cathedral style. Notwithstanding his supposed attachment to tlie Romish religion, it seems that Tallis accommodated himself and his studies to the alterations introduced at the Reformation. With this view, he set to music those parts ofthe English liturgy which at that time were deemed most proper to be sung, viz. the two morning services — the one compre- hending the Venite Eorulteimts, Te Deum, and Benedic- tus ; and the other, which is part ofthe communion of- fice, consisting of the Kijrie Elcison, Nicene Creed, and Sanctiis; as also the evening service, containing the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis. He also set musical notes to the preces and responses, and composed that litany which for its excellence is sung on solemn ser- vices in all places where the choral service is performed. The services of Tallis contain also chants for the Venite Exultenuts and the Creed of St. Athanasius, two of which are published in Dr. Royce's Cathedral Afnsic, vol. i. Besides the otfices above mentioned, constitut- ing what are now termed the morning, communion, and evening services, in four parts, with the preces,
responses, and litany, Tallis composed many anthems. He died Nov. 23, 1585, and was buried in the parish church of Greenwich, in Kent. See Chalmers, Biog. Dirt. s. v.

Tal'mai (Heb. Talmay', ^"^hV}, furrowed [Geseni- us ] or hold [Furst, who comp. OoXo/taToe, Josephus, /l«^ xiv,8, 1 ; Bap-3-oXo//rtToc:, IMatt. x, 3] ; Sept. OoX- jiai, BoX/v(, QiXaiiiir, QoXoixai, etc.; Vulg. Tholmal or Tlioloma'i). the name of two men.
1. Last named of the three gigantic "sons of Anak" in Hebron (Numb, xiii, 22), who were expelled by Ca- leb (Josh. XV, 14) and slain
bv the .hidahites (Judg. i, 10). B.C. 1618. It has been thought that these people are depicted on the Egyp- tian monuments as a tall, light -complexioned race. In the hieroglyphic inscrip- tion they are named Tan- niahu, which may be the Egyptian rendering of the Hebrew word Talmai, al- lowing for the interchange of the liquid I for n, so con- stant in all languages. The figure is from a picture on a wall of the tomb of Aime- nepthah I, supposed to rep- resent a man ofthe tribe of Talmai, one of the sons of Anak ( Burton, Excerpta 11 ie roglyph ica").
2. Son of Ammihud and king of Geshur (2 Sam. iii, 3 ; xiii, 37 ; 1 Chron. iii, 2). li.C. 1045. His daughter Maachah was one ofthe wives of David and mother of Absalom. He was probably a petty chieftain dependent on David, and his wild retreat in Bashan afforded a shel- ter to his grandson after the assassination of Amnon.

Tal'mon (Heb. Talriwn', "jlwiii, oppi-essor; Sept. TtXfiiov and TfXo/t/v v. r. TeX/uu', ToX/iwr, TeXa^eiV; Vulg. Telnion), the head of a familv of door-keepers in the Temple, '■ the porters for the caii)ps of the sons of Levi" (1 Chron. ix, 17 ; Neh. xi, 19). B.C. 1013. Some of his descendants returned with Zerubbabel (Ezra ii, 42; Neh. vii, 45), and were employed in their heredi- tary otHce in the days of Nehemiah and Ezra (Neh. xii, 25), for the proper names in this passage must be con- sidered as the names of families.
