Fray Luis de León

Note 207 — III IV

Reading edition

The bishop seems to have resented Luis de Leon's opposition to the candidature of the bishop's brother, Juan Gallo, for the cátedra de vísperas de teología. In this contest Juan Gallo, a Dominican, was defeated by the Augustinian Fray Juan de Guevara (Documentos inéditos, vol. XI, pp. 275-277). Guevara was present when the bishop told Luis de Leon that 'he knew Luis de Leon's hostility to his (the bishop's) brother had done him more harm than all the rest' (Documentos inéditos, vol. XI, p. 261). Later on, Juan Gallo appears to have been appointed to another chair at Salamanca (Documentos inéditos, vol. XI, p. 318).
