This article offers the first focused analysis of John Hawkins's 1635 English rendering of Pietro Aretino's Parafrasi sopra i sette salmi della penitenza di David, situating the translation within its Catholic and translingual context. Nearly a century after Thomas Wyatt's versified treatment of the Sette Salmi, a sequence of seven Psalms framed within the narrative of a penitent King David, this prose version appeared in Douai, a city known for its English Catholic university. I analyse this translation's discursive and bibliographical elements in relation to the dynamic book trade supplying England's Catholics with religious texts, and with particular emphasis on the ways Hawkins's rendering dresses the Sette Salmi in the rhetoric of imaginative contemplation for devotional purposes. ‘Contemplate on the subiect following’, he urges in a preface to the reader; in his English treatments of the paraphrases' prologues, meanwhile, the translator embroiders the text with emphases on both ‘phantasy’ and heightened suffering. Though Hawkins never names Aretino explicitly, this translation takes part in a transnational effort to revisit the Sette Salmi and to rehabilitate an author known commonly in the Anglophone world, if not more widely in Europe, as the ‘scourge of princes’ and author of the scandalous Ragionamenti.

Richard Hakluyt, author of the major geographic compendium The Principal Navigations (1589; 1598-1600) spent much of his life in service to the English church, describing himself late in his career as 'one publikely and anciently devoted to God's service'. Despite this, his religious profession has often been viewed within scholarship as secondary to his geographic work, and the apparent absence of any explicitly religious writings has made the details of his own beliefs difficult to ascertain. This article sheds fresh light on both Hakluyt's religious beliefs and their importance to his geographic works through analysis of previously unexamined manuscript notes form the early 1580s. These notes cover a lecture focusing on the third article and a sermon exhorting the need for ministerial vocations, both given by Hakluyt while at the University of Oxford, and offer insight into his religious beliefs. The analysis offered in this article demonstrates the integral importance of religion to Hakluyt's geographic work while simultaneously locating him within a wide continental network of theologians and writers to reassess the impact and reach of his ministerial role.
Richard Hakluyt,主要地理纲要《主要导航》(1589)的作者;(1598-1600)一生中大部分时间都在为英国教会服务,在他职业生涯的后期,他形容自己是“一个公开的、自古以来致力于为上帝服务的人”。尽管如此,他的宗教职业在学术界经常被认为次于他的地理研究,而且明显缺乏任何明确的宗教著作,这使得他自己的信仰细节难以确定。本文通过对16世纪80年代早期未经审查的手稿笔记的分析,对哈克鲁伊特的宗教信仰及其对他的地理著作的重要性进行了新的阐释。这些笔记涵盖了一篇专注于第三篇文章的演讲和一篇劝诫牧师职业必要性的布道,这两篇都是哈克卢伊特在牛津大学发表的,并提供了他对宗教信仰的见解。本文提供的分析展示了宗教对哈克鲁伊特地理工作的整体重要性,同时将他置于一个广泛的大陆神学家和作家网络中,以重新评估他的牧师角色的影响和范围。
