Gaspar Lax (1487 – 23 February 1560) was a Spanish mathematician, logician, and philosopher who spent much of his career in Paris.
[2] He studied the Seven Liberal Arts and theology at the University of Saragossa, where he acquired a master's degree.
Also during this period of time, all along with another friend, Lax fatally wounded another student by hitting his head.
During this period of time Lax, who had Erasmian friends, permitted that Erasmus's works be read and taught in the university.
The most probable causes of this clash is that Servetus would have started talking of his "heretic" theological ideas, or that Lax had silenced Servetus's probable collaboration in his work Quaestiones phyisicales, which just 11 days before had started to get in print.
