Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book. It usually begins with \u201cLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of lorem ipsum is to create a natural looking block of text that doesn’t distract from the layout. A practice not without controversy, laying out pages with meaningless filler text can be very useful when the focus is meant to be on design, not content.The passage experienced a surge in popularity during the 1960s when Letraset used it on their dry-transfer sheets, and again during the 90s as desktop publishers bundled the text with their software. Today it’s seen all around the web; on templates, websites, and stock designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The placeholder text, beginning with the line \u201cLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit\u201d, looks like Latin because in its youth, centuries ago, it was Latin.Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar from Hampden-Sydney College, is with discovering the source behind the ubiquitous filler text. In seeing a sample of lorem ipsum, his interest was piqued by a genuine, albeit rare, Latin word. Consulting a Latin dictionary led McClintock to a passage from De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum , a first-century B.C. text from the Roman philosopher Cicero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, the garbled words of lorem ipsum<\/em> bear an unmistakable resemblance to sections of Cicero\u2019s work, with the most notable passage excerpted below:Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.\u201dA English translation by reads:\u201cNor is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McClintock\u2019s eye for detail certainly helped narrow the whereabouts of lorem ipsum\u2019s origin, however, the \u201chow and when\u201d still remain something of a mystery, with competing theories and timelines.So how did the classical Latin become so incoherent? According to McClintock, a 15th century typesetter likely scrambled part of Cicero’s De Finibus<\/em> in order to provide placeholder text to mockup various fonts for a type specimen book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s difficult to find examples of lorem ipsum<\/em> in use before Letraset made it popular as a dummy text in the , although McClintock says he remembers coming across the lorem ipsum<\/em> passage in a book of old metal type samples. So far he hasn’t relocated where he once saw the passage, but the popularity of Cicero in the century supports the theory that the filler text has been used for centuries.And anyways, as, think graphic arts supply houses were hiring classics scholars in the ?\u201d Perhaps. But it seems reasonable to imagine that there was a version in use far before the age of Letraset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat I find remarkable is that this text has been the industry\u2019s standard dummy text ever since some printer in the took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book; it has survived not only four centuries of letter-by-letter resetting but even the leap into electronic typesetting, essentially unchanged except for an occasional \u2018ing\u2019 or \u2018y\u2019 thrown in. It’s ironic that when the then-understood Latin was scrambled, it became as incomprehensible as Greek; the phrase \u2018it\u2019s Greek to me\u2019 and \u2018greeking\u2019 have common semantic roots!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
