Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. Has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making more than 2000 years. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obvious Latin words, consectetur, from the Lorem Ipsum, and go through the quoted words in classical literature, discovered the source of undoubtable. Lorem Ipsum comes from the 1:10:32 and 1:10:33 from "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 1:10:32 section.
Standard deduction Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. 1:10:32 and 1:10:33 part of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their original form with the right, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
