Gérard Garitte
Gérard Garitte (1914–1990) was a Belgian historian and scientist at the Catholic University of Leuven and later the French-speaking University of Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.[1] He raised the study of Georgian ecclesiastical literature to a high level. In 1959, he was awarded the Francqui Prize on Human Sciences ("Orientalisme chrétien - Philologie classique"). In 1962, strongly opposed to the expulsion of French speakers from the Catholic University of Louvain, he created the ACAPSUL movement together with Georges Lemaître to fight against the split of the university.[2]
