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.
