The classic text of Lorem Ipsum, used since the 16th century, is given below. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of Cicero's de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum and their English translation by H. Rackham, 1914 are also given.
Many people think that Lorem Ipsum is a pseudo-Latin set of words taken from the ceiling, but this is not entirely true. Its roots go back to a fragment of classical Latin from 45 A.D., that is, more than two millennia ago. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College, Virginia, took one of the strangest words in Lorem Ipsum, "consectetur," and searched for it in classical Latin literature.
As a result, he found the indisputable primary source of Lorem Ipsum in sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of the book "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" ("On the limits of good and evil"), written by Cicero in 45 AD. This treatise on the theory of ethics was very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from one of the lines in section 1.10.32
