It doesn't even come close to ticking all of the boxes you've mentioned but perhaps the bible is the closest thing to what you've described?
- daveguy 8y agoAgreed 100%, the bible is by far the closest that I can think of too. One lack there is there are usually multiple translations to a single language, but updates within language (eg KJV to New International) doesn't come along nearly as often as that initial "authoritative" translation. As singularity2001 said, from a linguist perspective it's probably the most valuable document in the world, regardless of content.
