Medieval texts would be either material that was written during the Middle Ages, or material that was transcribed or translated during the Middle Ages. Since there are nearly no original texts left from ancient times, the medieval copies of ancient literature are very important.

What are the contributions of medieval period to education?
The first primary schools were opened by the Byzantine Empire in 425 AD, and the system was maintained until 1453. The earliest universities were medieval, and the system we use for university education is still based to some degree on medieval universities. The bachelor's, master's, and doctor's degrees are all medieval. The oldest 70 or so schools and 60 or so universities were all founded in the Middle Ages. The early universities tended to teach science and philosophy very dogmatically based on ancient texts. This tendency was broken by the Church through a series of actions called the Condemnations of 1210-1277. These freed scholars and scientists from the enforcement of traditional texts and allowed them to deal with science through empirical observation. The oldest state run schools are medieval. The Middle Ages introduced the first business oriented schools, called abacus schools. I think the first coeducational schools were medieval, as the Byzantine primary schools were coeducational, as were a number of the abacus schools.
