Many things/ideas that appear new aren't really new at all.
'What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
--Ecclesiastes 1.9. Bible: New International Version.
According to various books of proverbs and websites, the first English language recording of this expression is in Chaucer's Knight's Tale (1386), but we could not find a reference. If somebody can point us to it, we'll gladly correct this entry!
