ADESSENARII, a Sect in Religion, who hold that Jesus Christ is really present in the Eucharist, but in a manner different from what the Romanists hold. See EUCHARIST, etc.The Adessenarii, also called Impanatores, are divided into four different opinions touching the point: Some hold that the Body of Jesus Christ is in the Bread; others, that it is around the Bread; others, that it is with the Bread;and lastly, others, that it is under the Bread. See TRANSUBSTANTIATION.
The name Adessenarii was first framed by Prateolus, from the Latin verb "adesse," meaning "to be present."
