1303, Bernard de Gordon, Fleur de lis de medecine (a.k.a. lilium medicine):

There seems to be a bit of confusion over this; Godefroy lists this as 1495 (date of publication). While Wikipedia lists it as 1303 and says that he died in 1330 which is before our currently 1340 cutoff. French Wiktionary says 1305 which for our purposes is no different to 1303 because still clearly inside the 1340 cutoff. Perhaps the version in this link is the 1495 edition and may have been 'modernized' a bit. I don't know. But a lot of the word I'm entering, the Trésor de langue française informatisée says not attested until later than 1303 (or 1305). It's not a massive issue; these words definitely exist just there is a some argument for calling them Middle French if and only if the version in the URL we can show is a post-1339 version.
