Spiders, Now here's a thought - let's take the Bible - say, the new Testament - OK, even at latest date the last books of the New Testament are supposed to have been written about the end of the first century so they are 2000 years old - obviously over the 50 years since the death of the authors.
BUT I can't quote from the NT here because any quote I give will be a translation which is owned by the translator or their heirs. I CAN go back to the original text (if I can find it ... most of the original greek texts are lost) and retranslate it (after I have learnt new testament greek) and then quote it. See the analogy?
