coincidentally = ironically = also

[Jonathan Lighter]

Discovered, as usual, by chance:

  1999 _Novels for Students_ (ed. D. A. Stanley) (Detroit: Gale) VII 53: Though written in 1891, _Billy Budd_...was first published posthumously in 1924. Coincidentally, the English composer Edward Benjamin Britten, aided by E. M. Forster's libretto, made _Billy Budd_ into an opera in 1951.
