Gabriel Biel (1420–1495)

Last great nominalist scholastic. Gabriel Biel was a German scholastic philosopher and member of the Canons Regular of the Congregation of Windesheim, who were the clerical counterpart to the Brethren of the Common Life. Because of his reliance on the scholastic tradition, as well as nominalist views, he is credited an "articulate spokesman of the via moderna and … a discerning user of the thought of via antiqua". He has been called ultimus scholasticorum, the last of the schoolmen.
