Some geniuses become sirs, like 17th century natural philosopher Isaac Newton. Published in Latin, his famed three-volume book is most often referred to as what?

The full name of Newton's famous three-book set is Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, so you can see why scholars call it simply Principia. The book states Newton's laws of motion, which is still at the root of classical mechanics, in addition to Newton's law of universal gravitation.
