orem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an

unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has
survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining
essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets
containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like
Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?


It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page
when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal
distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like
readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem
Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites
still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident,
sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Where does it come from?


Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of
classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin
professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin
words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in
classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections
1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by
Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the
Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in
section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those
interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are
also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914
translation by H. Rackham.
