Biel, Gabriel (c.1420–95), scholastic philosopher. He joined the Brethren of the Common Life and in 1479 became provost of the house at Urach. He took part in the foundation of the University of Tübingen, where he was professor of theology. He was a follower of the nominalist thought of William of Ockham. He held that the ‘just price’ was determined by supply and demand rather than by theological maxims and that the merchant is a useful member of society.
