- Add other possible names for this topic
Menckeneanea: A Schimpflexikon is a collection of articles and quotations denouncing H. L. Mencken, collected and arranged by Mencken himself.
The word “schimpflexikon” is from the German language, which Mencken spoke fluently; it means, roughly, a dictionary of disgrace.
Since Mencken was, in his day and later, a highly controversial figure, many of the quotations in the book are highly vituperative.
Among the writers quoted or excerpted is William Allen White.
The book was printed in a very small edition, and is considered a rarity today.
