A passage from Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales":

“With us there was a doctor of phisik [medicine];
In all the world there was none like him….
He knew well the old Aesclapius
And Dioscorides, and also Rufus,
Old Hippocrates, Haly, and Galen,
Serapion, Rhazes, and Avicenna,
Averroes, John of Damascus, and Constantine,
Bernard, and [John] Gaddesden, and Gilbertus”
