The Great Library
The Great Library is one of the most valuable Wonders of the early game. Made possible with the discovery of Literature, the Great Library automatically awards you any Advance known by two other civilizations. The value of this is readily apparent: if you are a civilization that's off to a slow start on Science, or is constrained by other reasons (such as the need to promote city happiness or deal with constant warfare), the Great Library acts as a great leveler.
The downside is that the "Education" Advance makes the Great Library obsolete, and that advance is only in the second tier of the Middle Ages, meaning that you only get to appreciate the Great Library for a short time.
