Nicolaus Copernicus wrote De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.
Nicolaus Copernicus was a Renaissance astronomer and the first person to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology, which displaced the Earth from the center of the universe. Copernicus dedicated the book to Paul III who was known for his astrological predilection. De Revolutionibus was a book and when he published it the gov't didn't want to get rid of the Earth-Centered (Geocentric) Theory so before they published De Revolutionibus, they wrote in the beginning of the book that the stuff written in the book was all fictional. The book was published in March 1543.
