==History and discovery==
A variation of the common lorem ipsum text has been used since the 1960s or earlier<ref name="SDop" /> to provide a filler text during typesetting.
The text is derived from [[:la:s:De finibus bonorum et malorum/Liber Primus|sections 1.10.32–3]] of [[Cicero|Cicero's]] ''[[De finibus bonorum et malorum]]''<!-- lowercase for title--> (''On the Ends of Goods and Evils'', or alternatively ''[About] The Purposes of Good and Evil'').<ref name="Microsoft">{{cite web |url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/114222/en-us |title=Description of the "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" text that appears in Word Help |accessdate=2007-03-22 |publisher=Microsoft }}</ref> The original passage began: ''Neque porro quisquam est qui do'''lorem ipsum''' quia '''dolor sit amet consectetur adipisci''' v'''elit''''' (translation: "Neither is there anyone who loves, pursues or desires pain itself because it is pain"). It is not known exactly when the text acquired its current standard form; it may have been as late as the 1960s. Richard McClintock, a [[Latin]] scholar who was the publications director at [[Hampden-Sydney College]] in [[Virginia]], discovered the source of the passage sometime before 1982 while searching for instances of the Latin word "''consectetur''", rarely used in classical literature.<ref name="SDop" /><ref>The information was first published early in 1994 in a letter to the editor of {{Citation |url=http://www.bamagazine.com/ |newspaper=Before & After |volume=4 |number=1}}, contesting the editor's earlier claim that lorem ipsum had no meaning.</ref> The physical source of the Lorem Ipsum text may be the 1914 Loeb Classical Library Edition of the ''De Finibus,'' where the Latin text finishes page 34 with "Neque porro quisquam est qui do-" and begins page 36 with "lorem ipsum (et seq.)…", suggesting that the galley type of that page was scrambled to make the dummy text seen today. This suggests that "lorem ipsum" may have been used as dummy text before the [[Letraset]] transfer sheets popularized it.
The original version (with the excerpted items highlighted) appears in Book 1, sections 32–3:
