You're allowed to bring one item back to year 1500. What do you bring that causes total chaos?

Now I have stared at this page for about 20 minutes, and if I really wanted to mess with the year 1500...
I have to remember something: they didn't have electricity of any kind back then. So I'm thinking cellphones, televisions, and vehicles would be useless without electricity or fuel. Then I thought about what they had back then that we still use today. The answer is clearly books.
A modern book or books on advanced science and technology, such as "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking or a book containing detailed blueprints for inventions like the steam engine that lead up to today inventions of travel.
Now My Reasons for Choosing a Book on Advanced Science Are.
Fundamental Concepts, Inventions and Innovations, and Philosophical Impacts.
This book or books alone would cause cultural disruption. The sheer amount of knowledge would overwhelm existing systems, leading to confusion and a struggle to adapt to these new ideas.
This items would create a profound disruption in their technological and cultural landscape.

@DeWayfarer Gosh, I was wondering if the Encyclopedia Britannica would be cheating!!
Anyway, I think you're right that bringing knowledge, especially science, would have the greatest effect on the 1500s. Unfortunately, they would probably make first use of the knowledge in wars and war machines.
