The term "Medieval physicists" generally refers to scholars and thinkers during the Middle Ages (approximately 500 to 1500 AD) who contributed to the study of natural philosophy, which encompasses what we now consider physics, along with other scientific disciplines. During this period, the understanding of the natural world was heavily influenced by ancient Greek and Roman ideas, particularly the works of philosophers such as Aristotle and Ptolemy.
