Josse van Clichtove
Josse van Clichtove or Judocus Clichtoveus Neoportuensis (Nieuwpoort, 1472/73 – Chartres 22 September 1543), was a Flemish theologian, priest and humanist.
Life
He received his education at Leuven and at Paris under Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples.[1]
He became librarian of the Sorbonne and tutor to the nephews of Jacques d'Amboise, bishop of Clermont and abbot of Cluny. He is best known as a distinguished antagonist of Martin Luther, against whom he wrote extensively.
When Cardinal Duprat convened his Synod of Paris in 1528 to discuss the new religion, Clichtove was summoned and was entrusted with the task of collecting and summarizing the objections to the Lutheran doctrine. This he did in his Compendium veritatum ... contra erroneas Lutheranorum assertiones (Paris, 1529).
