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.
