The Jesuati (or Jesuates) were a religious order founded by Giovanni Colombini of Siena in 1360. The order was initially called (from Latin: Apostolic Clerics of Saint Jerome) because of a special veneration for St. Jerome and the apostolic life the founders led. The order was abolished by Pope Clement IX on 6 December 1668.
