History or date
Explanation:
History or date of the first cloning.
I'll give a good laugh if this turns out to be something about cloning :)) Copy or edition doesn't make much sense as my colleagues pointed out. So, given the context provided by you, which is NONE, this is more guesswork than translation. Still I'd strike out copy and edition.

date of first copy


Explanation:
have to admit that it sounds a bit weird though; as if a word for word translation, for a published copy or edition is not called a "kopya" (from copy) in turkish; or is the book an old manuscript? more context possible?

Date of the first edition


Explanation:
In english 'edition' is used more often when talking about a book. So the translation is 'Date of the first edition'

agree  Sandra OLIVER: copy of book or edition of book.Bizim "kopya" ile Ingilizce'deki "copy" arasindaki fark vardir. COPY dediginizde bir kitabin nushasi/orneginden bahsedilir. Bence, kopyalama, yanlis kullanilmis burada. Direkt bir tercumenin kokusunu aliyorum. I agree..

agree  Özden Arıkan: you're right, asker's explanation suggests that this is an "edition"; turkish wording has a problem, it seems: "kopyalama" is very strange (and definitely wrong) to use for edition.

Reprinted


Explanation:
If you look at the inside cover of an English book, you may potentially see three dates :

First Published (self explanatory).
Second (and subsequent) Edition : i.e. republished with amendments.
Reprinted : used for subsequent print runs of a particular edition.

Given that the word 'kopyalamak' in Turkish can be used to mean 'to clone/replicate', I would suggest 'reprinted' as another possible alternative to those already proposed.

agree  Özden Arıkan: EDIT:kopyalama,in the context of books,suggests the work of a scribe:copying a manuscript."reprint"makes sense as you explain above,however,i've never seen"kopyalama"used this way in a publication inTurkish.[sorry,prev.comment wasnt clear enuf-spaceProbl]

  -> Xola, thanks for your comments. I'm surprised you haven't come across the term 'reprinted' before (or are you referring to 'kopyalama'?). I just picked a random selection of books from my bookshelf, and 4 out of 5 had reprint dates alongside the others
