The ‘Moniment’ Database

Note

Context: This search documents the standard orthographic variant “moniment” across 16th and 17th-century English texts [EEBO V3]. No single instance of the word is anything other than a variation of the word ‘monument’ meaning physical memorial or funerary structure, whether used literally or metaphorically. The idea that Jonson uses it as a an insult depends upon a rare Scottish definition (meaning laughing stock) not seen in print until 1866. Jonson himself spells the word moniment in another document listed here where it is synonymous with the earlier definition. Doubters should be careful when invoking laughing stocks.
