About _

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem 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.

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.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

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? Where can I get some?

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.

What are the origins of Lorem Ipsum?

Contrary to what one might think, the Lorem ipsum text, despite being meaningless, has noble origins.

 

Objectively composed of unrelated words, Lorem ipsum owes its existence to Marco Tullio Cicerone and to some steps of his De finibus bonorum et malorum (The highest good and the highest evil) written in 45 BC , a classic of Latin literature dating back more than 2000 years ago.

 

The discovery was made by Richard McClintock , a professor of Latin at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, who faced the impetuous recurrence of the dark word consectetur in the text Lorem ipsum researched its origins to identify them in sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of the aforementioned Cicero’s philosophical work.

 

The words taken from one of the dialogues contained in the De finibus are therefore the pieces of the most famous nonsensical text in the world.

 

A discovery that has given greater importance to the Lorem ipsum which has remained on the crest of the wave since 500, that is when, according to Professor Richard McClintock, its use spread among the printers of the time.

 

Of course we know that to make it known to most was a publicity of the Sixties, that of the transferable Letraset character sheets: transparent adhesive sheets on which the Lorem ipsum text was imprinted easily transferable on the editorial products before the advent of the computer.

What does Lorem ipsum dolor mean?

When referring to Lorem ipsum, different expressions are used, namely fill text , fictitious text , blind text or placeholder text : in short, its meaning can also be zero, but its usefulness is so clear as to go through the centuries and resist the ironic and modern versions that came with the arrival of the web.
