GARET (Garetius), JEAN. - Theologian, b. at Louvain at the beginning of the 16th century, d. in 1571. Having become a regular canon of St. Augustine, he successively held the spiritual direction of two women's monasteries near Antwerp and at Ghent.
An ardent cultivator of the sacred sciences, he wrote with copious erudition and perfect orthodoxy: De vera praesentia corporis Christi in sacramento Eucharistiae (Antwerp 1651), which, enriched with new treatises, he republished under various titles in 1563 and 1569; A. Arnauld (v.) and P. Nicolò made use of this source in compiling the celebrated Perpétuité de la foi catholique touchant l'Eucharistie: De mortuis vivorum precibus iuvandis (Antwerp 1564); De invocatione Sanctorum (Ghent 1570). G.'s works are cited with honor by Bellarmine and by other illustrious controversialists.
