Aristotle and Ptolemy were the most important classical authorities on natural philosophy in the Middle Ages. Their works were widely studied and translated into Arabic and Latin, and their ideas influenced medieval scholars in fields ranging from astronomy to medicine. While Galen was also an important authority on medicine, his work was not as influential in natural philosophy as Aristotle and Ptolemy. Plato's works were also known in the Middle Ages, but they were not as widely studied as those of Aristotle and Ptolemy.
