The meaning of "copying" is double:
1. Copying whole sentences and/or paragraphs word for word. In this case,
the anwser is NO.
2. Reproducing the meaning of sentences and/or paragraphs with different

Readers of Le Superbe Orénoque could have had Jean Chaffanjon's book too.
Plagiarism (copying word for word) was impossible.
