Geoffrey Chaucer was a medieval author who wrote in a range of poetic varieties and genres, often exploring topics such as science and philosophy. In his collection of stories titled The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer uses one of his characters, the Pardoner, to express the adage, "Radix malorum est cupiditas,” or "Greed is the root of all evil.”
