there is nothing new under the sun
(b) there is nothing new under the sun and variants: whatever may seem new or original is unlikely to be a genuine innovation; there is never or rarely anything new or original in the world. Later also in allusive statements asserting that something is a genuine innovation.Sometimes, esp. in early use, with allusion to Ecclesiastes 1:9 (1:10 in some versions); cf. quot. a1382. [In early use after post-classical Latin nihil sub sole novum (Vulgate) and perhaps also after German nichts Neues unter der Sonne (Luther 1524; compare quot. c1545), both after an expression in biblical Hebrew.]
