As an alternative theory, (and because Latin scholars do this sort of thing) someone tracked down a 1914 Latin edition of De Finibus<\/em> which challenges McClintock’s 15th century claims and suggests that the dawn of lorem ipsum<\/em> was 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).

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>\n\n\n\n
