Clichtove (Or Clicthoue), Jossy

(Lat. Jodocus Clicthoveus), a Flemish theologian, was born at Nieuport. He commenced his studies at Louvain, and finished them at Paris in the College of Cardinal Lemoine under Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples. He taught philosophy at the College of Navarre, was admitted doctor in 1506, and appointed canon of theology at Chartres. He was one of the first men who wrote against Luther doing so with sharpness, but without bitterness, and in pure Latin. He died at Chartres, Sept. 22, 1543. His principal works are, Anti Lutherus (Paris, 1523; Cologne, 1525): — Propugnaculum Ecclesiae (Paris, 1526): — De Bello et Pace (ibid. 159.3, 8vo): — Introductio in Artium Divisione, (ibid. 1526): — De Sacramento Eucharistice (ibid. eod.): — Elucidarium Ec-clesiasticum: — Improbatio Articulorum Mart. Lutheria Veritate Catholica Dissidentium: — Supplementum Commentariorum Cyrilli Alex. ad Evangelium S. Joannis:-Comm. in Jo. Damasceni Libros de Orthodoxa Fide. See Winer, Handbuch der theol.
