In the wide sense, any judicial summons to appear before an ecclesiastical court; in the strict sense, a legal act through which the defendant is, by order of the judge, called before the court to give his evidence. A citation, which has to conform to certain legal formalities, is necessary except when the defendant appears of his own accord before the judge to give his evidence.
