The Story of Lorem Ipsum: How Scrambled Text by Cicero Became the Standard For Typesetters Everywhere

In high school, the lan­guage I most fell in love with hap­pened to be a dead one: Latin. Sure, it’s spo­ken at the Vat­i­can, and when I first began to study the tongue of Vir­gil and Cat­ul­lus, friends joked that I could only use it if I moved to Rome. Tempt­ing, but church Latin bare­ly resem­bles the clas­si­cal writ­ten lan­guage, a high­ly for­mal gram­mar full of sym­me­tries and puz­zles. You don’t speak clas­si­cal Latin; you solve it, labor over it, and gloat, to no one in par­tic­u­lar, when you’ve ren­dered it some­what intel­li­gi­ble. Giv­en that the study of an ancient lan­guage is rarely a con­ver­sa­tion­al art, it can some­times feel a lit­tle alien­at­ing.

And so you might imag­ine how pleased I was to dis­cov­er what looked like clas­si­cal Latin in the real world: the text known to design­ers around the globe as “Lorem Ipsum,” also called “filler text” and (erro­neous­ly) “Greek copy.”

The idea, Priceo­nom­ics informs us, is to force peo­ple to look at the lay­out and font, not read the words. Also, “nobody would mis­take it for their native lan­guage,” there­fore Lorem Ipsum is “less like­ly than oth­er filler text to be mis­tak­en for final copy and pub­lished by acci­dent.” If you’ve done any web design, you’ve prob­a­bly seen it, look­ing some­thing like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con­secte­tur adip­isc­ing elit, sed do eius­mod tem­por inci­didunt ut labore et dolore magna ali­qua. Ut enim ad min­im veni­am, quis nos­trud exerci­ta­tion ullam­co laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea com­mo­do con­se­quat. Duis aute irure dolor in rep­re­hen­der­it in volup­tate velit esse cil­lum dolore eu fugiat nul­la pariatur. Excep­teur sint occae­cat cup­i­datat non proident, sunt in cul­pa qui offi­cia deserunt mol­lit anim id est labo­rum.

When I first encoun­tered this text, I did what any Latin geek will—set about try­ing to trans­late it. But it wasn’t long before I real­ized that Lorem Ipsum is most­ly gib­ber­ish, a gar­bling of Latin that makes no real sense. The first word, “Lorem,” isn’t even a word; instead it’s a piece of the word “dolorem,” mean­ing pain, suf­fer­ing, or sor­row. So where did this mash-up of Latin-like syn­tax come from, and how did it get so scram­bled? First, the source of Lorem Ipsum—tracked down by Ham­p­den-Syd­ney Direc­tor of Pub­li­ca­tions Richard McClintock—is Roman lawyer, states­man, and philoso­pher Cicero, from an essay called “On the Extremes of Good and Evil,” or De Finibus Bono­rum et Mal­o­rum.

Why Cicero? Put most sim­ply, writes Priceo­nom­ics, “for a long time, Cicero was every­where.” His fame as the most skilled of Roman rhetori­cians meant that his writ­ing became the bench­mark for prose in Latin, the stan­dard Euro­pean lan­guage of the mid­dle ages. The pas­sage that gen­er­at­ed Lorem Ipsum trans­lates in part to a sen­ti­ment Latin­ists will well under­stand:

Nor 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.

Dolorem Ipsum, “pain in and of itself,” sums up the tor­tu­ous feel­ing of try­ing to ren­der some of Cicero’s com­plex, ver­bose sen­tences into Eng­lish. Doing so with tol­er­a­ble pro­fi­cien­cy is, for some of us, “great plea­sure” indeed.

But how did Cicero, that mas­ter styl­ist, come to be so bad­ly man­han­dled as to be near­ly unrec­og­niz­able? Lorem Ipsum has a his­to­ry that long pre­dates online con­tent man­age­ment. It has been used as filler text since the six­teenth cen­tu­ry when—as McClin­tock theorized—“some type­set­ter had to make a type spec­i­men book, to demo dif­fer­ent fonts” and decid­ed that “the text should be insen­si­ble, so as not to dis­tract from the page’s graph­i­cal fea­tures.” It appears that this enter­pris­ing crafts­man snatched up a page of Cicero he had lying around and turned it into non­sense. The text, says McClin­tock, “has sur­vived not only four cen­turies of let­ter-by-let­ter reset­ting but even the leap into elec­tron­ic type­set­ting, essen­tial­ly unchanged.”

The sto­ry of Lorem Ipsum is a fas­ci­nat­ing one—if you’re into that kind of thing—but its longevi­ty rais­es a fur­ther ques­tion: should we still be using it at all, this man­gling of a dead lan­guage, in a medi­um as vital and dynam­ic as web pub­lish­ing, where “con­tent” refers to hun­dreds of design ele­ments besides font. Is Lorem Ipsum a quaint piece of nos­tal­gia that’s out­lived its use­ful­ness? In answer, you may wish to read Karen McGrane’s spir­it­ed defense of the prac­tice. Or, if you feel it’s time to let the gar­bled Latin go the way of man­u­al type­set­ting machines, con­sid­er per­haps as an alter­na­tive “Niet­zsche Ipsum,” which gen­er­ates ran­dom para­graphs of most­ly verb-less, inco­her­ent Niet­zsche-like text, in Eng­lish. Hey, at least it looks like a real lan­guage.

    Isn’t it referred to as “Greek copy” allud­ing to the text being “Greeked”, which does­n’t mean it’s in Greek, it’s just in turn allud­ing to the phrase that it’s unin­tel­li­gi­ble and “all Greek to me”?

  • Ayun says:

    Super inter­est­ing! Thanky!

  • Marcos says:

    I don’t see why it should­n’t be used. It still serves its only pur­pose — to show how a text block will look like, regard­less of con­tent.

  • Rosa Alvez-Pantoja says:

    > Or, if you feel it’s time to let the gar­bled Latin go

    that’s not nec­es­sar­i­ly need­ed, as there are inter­est­ing vari­ants like http://www.lorem-ipsum.info that offer ben­e­fits for typog­ra­phers, eg. added dia­crit­i­cal marks from major Euro­pean lan­guages or oth­er charsets like Chi­nese, Japan­ese, or Ara­bic.

    I agree with you Mar­cos thank you

  • I want to thank you for open­ing a door for me which pro­vides for years of cre­ative study. Your tan­ta­liz­ing and enthu­si­as­tic com­ments about the Cicero/printing press issue annealed to poor Dr. Fell and some oth­er Latin tales in which the lan­guage fig­ures into what jus­ti­fies the anec­dote often in equal mea­sure as the sto­ried con­tent. Or as Flan­ders O’Con­nor apt­ly put it “Every­thing that ris­es must con­verge.” Haunt­ing, no? You have giv­en me a great gift, a pul­ley with which I can use to take me high­er into wider issues …per­haps even to my long­time wish to read the Agamem­non of Aeschy­lus in the orig­i­nal Greek. Again, thank you for unwit­ting­ly made quite an effect on me.

  • Quinn Mills says:

    This is a very well writ­ten arti­cle. I was on google docs ready to write an essay, and then i decid­ed to explore the dif­fer­ent tem­plates from google, i opened the resume tem­plate and i saw lorem ipsum stuff all over being used as filler text and me being a curi­ous per­son i start­ed search­ing the web to find what it means and noth­ing was work­ing not even google trans­late, i opened sev­er­al web­sites all say­ing it was jib­ber­ish or “filler-text” but when i opened this site it was writ­ten well enough that it caught my atten­tion, and i dont real­ly like read­ing; it usu­al­ly bores me. but this arti­cle real­ly pleased me.
    Thank You Josh Jones, this arti­cle hit the spot.

    So this piece of text is wrong I take it. It’s just bull sh*t. Because i’ve tried to decypher it down to this text.

    There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, sim­ply beca­sue it is pain, enhanced mon­i­tor­ing pro­ce­dures, and long-and vital­i­ty, so that the labor of a great idea, but do blinds.

    Please help me out here

  • Crystal says:

    Pain is only pur­sued when good heart­ed peo­ple come under attack . The Good men that do noth­ing are guilty of evil. Those will­ing to suf­fer pain , endure extreme abuse , be will­ing to be traf­ficked into a sys­tem of evil in order to even­tu­al­ly expose and pre­vent such abuse to oth­ers is Lorem Ipsum — or bet­ter said the extremes of Good vs Evil. The best way to describe the Author Cicero’ Gib­ber­ish is the idea that a prophets tes­ti­mo­ny is mean­ing­less until the veil of old is lift­ed off and we begin to clear­ly see the Truth. The only way too the TRUTH is under­stand ful­ly Good vs Evil which is the for­bid­den fruit if Gen­e­sis ! This form of Rev­e­la­tion or Tow­er of Babel is how your Ter­ror­ist com­mu­ni­cate and remain under the radar, it how your drug Deal­ers remain silent and no elec­tron­ic data is ever retrieved from the place­hold­er of **Lorem Ipsum**. This mean­ing­less secret mean­ing holds the Kee’s that unlock any Truth of our his­to­ry into a world of EVIL , pain , suf­fer­ing , tor­ment and Sor­row !

  • Carol says:

    How meta. “Gib­ber­ish” squared.

  • Constantine Khripin says:

    Hav­ing dis­cov­ered that it’s gar­bled Latin, I feel some­what relieved. I used to feel some­what guilty at over­writ­ing this text in doc­u­ment tem­plates. After all, I did not under­stand it. Was I eras­ing some words of ancient wis­dom? How could my mediocre mus­ings ever live up to the stan­dard of the mys­te­ri­ous words they were replac­ing?

    Now, every time I over­write this text I will rel­ish the destruc­tion of this ver­bal com­post, turn­ing it over like a fal­low field to sow my words.

  • Nathaniel S says:

    Every­thing we do in life brings about pain .wether it is to one’s self ir to anoth­er for its been said for every action there is a reac­tion both pos­i­tive and neg­a­tive!! Si it seems that we was warned about the descend­ing val­ues of man and of the gods !!! Just as Solomon said every­thing is vex­a­tion of spir­it!!! Not all will agree but a sin to one might be hope for anoth­er and life is so fal­si­fied and twist­ed to the bet­ter­ment of our fee­ble mind to be lost is tru­ly the only way one can be found to open and close our eyes to live is to die and to die we will be all the more alive .…my con­science tor­ments me not and one last thing for he/she who holds what should shall for­ev­er regret what is

  • Deirdre E says:

    It seems that most peo­ple don’t take time to look around care­ful­ly, inves­ti­gate, eval­u­ate things they see around them every day.

    My hus­band point­ed out this text (in tiny, tiny font)on the front page of a menu from a local (won­der­ful) Mex­i­can restau­rant here in Arling­ton, Vir­ginia. I had stud­ied Latin in high school, so set about try­ing to trans­late it, rec­og­niz­ing a few nor­mal-look­ing Latin words right away, but mys­ti­fied at some that did­n’t look famil­iar to me “nisl” being one of those words! The text was quite small and my eyes are old, so I attempt­ed to take a pho­to with my cell phone cam­era to mag­ni­fy it. Looked up a sec­tion of the text on search and dis­cov­ered this openculture.com expla­na­tion!

    What fun it was to read about the ori­gin of the text! My hus­band is a life-long avid read­er of Roman his­to­ry (Eng­lish trans­la­tions only), so was well famil­iar with Cicero. More recent­ly, my hus­band and I became big fans of the HBO series Rome, which also gives a his­tor­i­cal dra­ma ver­sion of Cicero which is quite good in many ways, and we real­ly enjoyed watch­ing the series. Fol­low­ing the series, watch the clas­sic PBS ver­sion of “I Claudius” (based on the book of the same name) and you segue to the next por­tion of Roman his­to­ry.

    The use of this ‘LOREM IPSUM” text I had NEVER heard of before. I shared this dis­cov­ery with my sis­ter who is an edi­tor, and she knew about the dum­my text (but not the his­to­ry and ori­gin of it)! If it weren’t for the error some­one made includ­ing the text on the menu at one of our favorite Mex­i­can restau­rants, we would have missed the fun. (When you retire, lots of unusu­al things gain the sta­tus of being clas­si­fied as fun.)

    I feel I def­i­nite­ly should NOT let the own­er know the text was includ­ed on their menu, by the way. Maybe oth­er curi­ous and obser­vant din­ers will inves­ti­gate this lit­tle gem of print­ing his­to­ry. Per­haps then will then find their way into Roman his­to­ry?

    KEEP THE TEXT, YES, I say.
