So how did the classical Latin become so incoherent? According to McClintock, a 15th century typesetter likely scrambled part of Cicero’s\u00a0De Finibus<\/em> in order to provide placeholder text to mockup various fonts for a type specimen book. It’s difficult to find examples of\u00a0lorem ipsum<\/em>\u00a0in use before Letraset made it popular as a dummy text in the 1960s, although McClintock says<\/a> he remembers coming across the\u00a0lorem ipsum<\/em>\u00a0passage 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 15th century supports the theory that the filler text has been used for centuries.<\/p>

Don’t bother typing \u201clorem ipsum\u201d into Google translate. If you already tried, you may have gotten\u00a0anything from “NATO” to “China”, depending on how you capitalized the letters. The bizarre translation was fodder for conspiracy theories, but Google has since updated its \u201clorem ipsum\u201d translation to, boringly enough, \u201clorem ipsum\u201d. One brave soul did take a stab at translating the almost-not-quite-Latin. <\/em><\/p>

According to\u00a0The Guardian, Jaspreet Singh Boparai undertook the challenge with the goal of making the text \u201cprecisely as incoherent in English as it is in Latin – and to make it incoherent in the same way\u201d. As a result, \u201cthe Greek ‘eu’ in Latin became the French ‘bien’ […] and the ‘-ing’ ending in ‘lorem ipsum’ seemed best rendered by an ‘-iendum’ in English.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As an\u00a0alternative theory, (and because Latin scholars do this sort of thing) someone tracked down a 1914 Latin edition of\u00a0De Finibus<\/em>\u00a0which challenges McClintock’s<\/a> 15th century claims and suggests that the dawn of\u00a0lorem ipsum<\/em>\u00a0was as recent as the 20th century. The 1914 Loeb Classical Library Edition ran out of room on page 34 for the Latin phrase \u201cdolorem ipsum\u201d (sorrow in itself). Thus, the truncated phrase leaves one page dangling with \u201cdo-\u201d, while another begins with the now ubiquitous \u201clorem ipsum\u201d.<\/p>

Whether a medieval typesetter chose to garble a well-known (but non-Biblical\u2014that would have been sacrilegious) text, or whether a quirk in the 1914 Loeb Edition inspired a graphic designer, it’s admittedly an odd way for Cicero to sail into the 21st century.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
