Newton's own annotated copy of Principia Mathematica.
The Cambridge papers of Sir Isaac Newton, including early drafts and Newton’s annotated copies of Principia Mathematica have been added to UNESCO’s International Memory of the World Register. The chief attractions in the Cambridge collection are Newton’s own copies of the first edition of the Principia (1687), covered with his corrections, revisions and additions for the second edition.

Perhaps one should specify that there is another famous Principia Mathematica (225 years later) and that Newton's opus is the Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica was first published on 5 July 1687. On the other hand Principia Mathematica is a three-volume work on the foundations of mathematics written by mathematician–philosophers Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell and published in 1910, 1912, and 1913.
