Jacques Gillot (jurist)

– 1619) was a French priest and jurist, and reputed author, a Gallican opponent of the Society of Jesus.

He was notorious for associating with freethinkers; the Queen called him "the Lutheran priest".

[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.
