Gilbert, Claude (1652-1720). A Dijon lawyer whose Utopia, Histoire de Calejava (1700), printed but unpublished, is set in northern Lithuania. It is largely a description of a rational, deistic natural religion, much influenced by Malebranche but critical of aspects of Catholicism, Gilbert presumably having had Huguenot connections.
