What do you call Medieval scholars?

I need some names of what writers, scientists, or any creative people were called in the Medieval European ages.  Not just one name, but several if possible.

For example, a writer in ancient times would be called a Scribe.  Would they call writers in Medieval times "Scribe" also?

I know there were indeed "scholars" and scholastisicm, but where there other names and ways of calling people who wrote great texts, researched, studied, etc. 

Thanks

The difficulty is that many texts in those days were of a religious nature, with the church itself often being one of the main sources of literate writers. So actual writers were typically those involved in religious works or working as a copyist. Such people were called clerics. For non-religious texts, you will need to refer to the profession of the person most of the time.
