SIBERT OF BEEK (Beek). - Carmelite theologian, b. in Beek (near Geldern, Rhineland) around 1260, d. in Cologne on 26 Dec. 1332, where, around 1280, he had taken the Carmelite habit. Having obtained his doctorate in theology (1316) at the University of Paris, he governed the province of Lower Germany for many years, taking part in the politics of those times; in the dispute between the Duke of Brabant and the city of Brussels (1319) and in the quarrel between the Duke of Guelders and the Pope (1328), he succeeded in reconciling the two parties.

He intervened in the trial against Master Eckhart (v.) and in 1327, in the struggle between the Emperor Louis the Bavarian and the Pope, he wrote, in defense of pontifical right, a Reprobatio sex errorum against Marsilius of Padua's Defensor Pacis. He also wrote: Quodlibeta I-II (ms. Vat. Borg., 39); Ordinale Carmelitarum, which was the basis of the Carmelite liturgy (ed. by Ben. Zimmerman, Paris 1910) and other works on the history and privileges of his Order.
