Jacobus Latomus

Jacobus Latomus (or Jacques Masson) ( – 29 May 1544) was a Catholic Flemish theologian, a distinguished member of the Faculty of Theology at the University of Leuven. Latomus was a theological adviser to the Inquisition, and his exchange with William Tyndale is particularly noted. The general focus of his academic work centered on opposing Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation, supporting the papacy and the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. ''Etymology:'' Latinized ''Latomus'' = ''Masson'' from Greek ''lā-tómos'' 'stone-cutter, quarryman', thus 'mason'. Provided by Wikipedia
