Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

BURTON

No need for hitting the roof
When writers or typesetters goof

We turn for correction
To our man of perfection —

We turn to the man born to proof

It’s our great fortune and luck
To have this fine man from Kentuck

He corrects our mistakes
Barely tapping the brakes —

We wonder what wonder we’ve struck

And so we proceed, always certain
That whenever we open the curtain

On a new publication,
A new Press creation,

Perfection’s assured — thanks to Burton

And so may his praises be heard
All honor and glory conferred

He’s made a great journey, This
