A seminal work by Nicolaus Copernicus, published in 1543, which presented his heliocentric model of the universe. This astronomical treatise proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun, challenging the geocentric model that had been accepted for centuries.
His great work, the revolutionibbus, only came out as he lay on his deathbed, likely to avoid the wrath of the church and academia.
""Nicolaus Copernicus is mentioned in the context of being 'right but early' and delaying the publication of his radical ideas. His 'great work, the revolutionibbus' (De revolutionibus orbium coelestium) is explicitly referenced as the product of his insights."
