Jacques Gillot (jurist)

Jacques Gillot (1550? – 1619) was a French priest and jurist, and reputed author, a Gallican opponent of the Society of Jesus.^[1]

Gillot was a councillor-clerk of the Parlement of Paris, and also a canon of the Sainte-Chapelle. He was notorious for associating with freethinkers; the Queen called him "the Lutheran priest".^[2] He was also Dean of Langres Cathedral.^[3]

One work where Gillot's part is attested is Satyre Ménippée de la vertu du catholicon d'Espagne et de la tenue des éstats de Paris (1599)^[4] Gillot was a reputed collaborator in the Satire Ménippée.^[5] The other authors are given as: Pierre Leroy (a canon of Rouen), Pierre Pithou, Nicolas Rapin, Florent Chretien, and Jean Passerat.^[6]

The Vita Calvini of Jean Papire Masson was often incorrectly attributed to Gillot in the 17th century.^[7] The Traictez des droicts et libertez de L'Eglise gallicane (1609) is traditionally attributed to Gillot, but on unclear grounds.^[8]

Gillot was a correspondent of Paolo Sarpi,^[9] and was one of the anti-Jesuit circle that circulated the unlikely story of Pierre Coton and the questions he had supposedly prepared to ask an exorcised spirit.^[10] Others in his correspondence network were Isaac Casaubon^[11] and Joseph Scaliger.^[12]
