Are you sure? Who is the creator of the work when
the Grimm brothers wrote down old fairy tales?
The manifestation exists, but it's like a translation
(from oral tradition into literature) without any
original.

In the 19th century, some French and English novels
were translated into Swedish based on the German
translation. It was a translation that was translated,
neither the original edition nor the abstract work.
Ideally, the path woud not matter. But if the German
translation was abridged or contained some errors,
those errors would be carried over to the Swedish.
In today's world I guess the German translator
could claim a copyright to the Swedish translation.

Can FRBR or your model represent such details?
