Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots |
|---|
| 15 |
in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years |
|---|
| 16 |
old. |

Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in |
|---|
| 21 |
Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a |
|---|
| 22 |
Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical |
|---|
| 23 |
literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections |
|---|
| 24 |
1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and |
|---|
| 25 |
Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of |
|---|
| 26 |
ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, |
|---|
| 27 |
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. |
