- The_Three_Princes_of_Serendip abstract "The Three Princes of Serendip is the English version of the Peregrinaggio di tre giovani figliuoli del re di Serendippo published by Michele Tramezzino in Venice in 1557. Tramezzino claimed to have heard the story from one Christophero Armeno who had translated the Persian fairy tale into Italian adapting Book One of Amir Khusrau's Hasht-Bihisht of 1302. The story first came to English via a French translation, and now exists in several out-of-print translations.Serendip is the Persian and Urdu name for Sri Lanka, which was adopted from Sanskrit Suvarnadweepa or golden island or originally from Tamil "Seren deevu" . In contrast, some trace the etymology to Simhaladvipa which literally translates to "Dwelling-Place-of-Lions Island"The story has become known in the English speaking world as the source of the word serendipity, coined by Horace Walpole because of his recollection of the part of the "silly fairy tale" where the three princes by "accidents and sagacity" discern the nature of a lost camel. In a separate line of descent, the story was used by Voltaire in his 1747 Zadig, and through this contributed to both the evolution of detective fiction and also to the self-understanding of scientific method.".
