With this sort of edict, Paul made a copy (9)

I believe the answer is:

duplicate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'copy' is the definition.
(I know that copy is a kind of duplicate)

'with this sort of edict paul made a' is the wordplay.
'edict paul' anagrams to 'DUPLICATE'.
However, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for duplicate that I've seen before include "Clone" , "match" , "Copy - teacup lid (anag)" , "Increase twofold" , "An exact copy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
