Leonard Leopold Mackall (1879-1937), a native of Baltimore, made numerous contributions to scholarly journals in the fields of bibliography, philology, and history. He was a noted Goethe scholar who resided in Jena for a number of years and helped edit his correspondence. Americanists will recognize him for his "Catalogue of the Wymberley Jones De Renne Georgia Library" (3 vols, 1931), still the best single bibliography of Georgia books. He served as president of the Bibliographical Society of America and of the Georgia Historical Society.
