See also "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" by Borges (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Menard,_Author_of_the_Quixote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Menard,_Author_of_the_Q...) about the differences between Menard's and Cervantes' Don Quixote. Both the same text, 100% identical, but one written in contemporary times to the setting, one in modern times. The modern 'copy' has a different meaning, due to the authors different circumstances, despite the content being syntactically exactly the same. Really interesting concept, like all of Borges, really!
