No, that is quite the same --precisely. THIS is a sense of "original", as Roo cited (and why Ashley included those dates).

Obfuscation comes to mind…
It really is hard to determine (with absolute clarity) what you (or anyone else) is suggesting in relation to the discovery of #1452.

In a strictly literal sense, Ashley did not declare himself to be the discoverer of #1452 (in his book).
As for the discovery date - Ashley did not provide this either…that came from Roger Miles.

Stupidity comes to mind.
Ashley did do exactly that --claim & dated to boot, to wit:

[ABoK] 1452. (2/3/34.) Another original bend …

QED.
