I made a few additions. Some of the non-fiction works were derived, using reason, from The 100 Most Influential Books Ever Written (book). Narssarssuaq (talk) 17:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC) Other additions to medieval non-fiction pertain to the influential discussion surrounding Aristotelianism in Islam.

Additions
I did not understand that there can only be 20 ancient texts, so I added 14 more which are of interest, using, amongst other things, the book quoted above. We can try to single out the 20 most important of these through voting. I've put an asterisk on my suggestions. If others do the same, we may eventually have a result.
