I learned the derivation of SERENDIPITY from dramatist Alain-René Lesage, born May 6 1668: Sri Lanka's Arabic name=SERENDIB. His wildly colonialist harlequinade "Arlequin roi de Serendib" (1713) adapts Euripides' IPHIGENIA IN TAURIS & folktales about finding treasure accidentally

From 'One Thousand and One Nights' (Aladdin, I assume). The folktale was not part of the original Arabic text, it was added in the 1700s by a Frenchman who said it was told him by a Syrian storyteller. Illustrated here by Edmund Dulac in 1907.
