  Comments:
it might be worth recording.  i know we normally wouldn't classify 世紀 as adj-no, but i think in this case, it actually would be fair to do so for sense 3?

In many languages, the equivalent "of the century" doesn't at all mean something like "the most renowned... of the century"
if you don't spell out "the most renowned" bit. so I don't think it's obvious that "世紀の" would have that meaning.

I don't think it's a distinct sense; it's just a way of using sense 1.
