 The "Principia Discordia" is the founding text of Discordianism written by Greg Hill (Malaclypse the Younger) and Kerry Wendell Thornley (Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst).It was originally published under the title "Principia Discordia or How The West Was Lost" in a limited edition of five copies in 1965.The title, literally meaning "Discordant Principles", is in keeping with the tendency of Latin to prefer hypotactic grammatical arrangements.
