I would like to know how to say:
Despised by the despicable. . . in Latin, for reasons that will soon be clear, if they're not already.
It seems that everyone I ask has a different answer. I've seen:
Despectus (Dēspectus?) despicabilibus (dēspicābilis?)And:
ab despectivis contemptus est (meaning, I was told, "By the despicable many, he is despised."--I kinda like that).Today, a local Catholic priest suggested:
Contemptus per despectivusAny guidance anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Stumble it!

Kurt, I asked my medieval re-enactment group email list and what they came up with was
"A contemptis contempt"
essentially it means "held in contempt by the contemptable."
Cool--thanks, Sean.
I'll wear that T-Shirt
