Abstract
IN Rosemary Freeman's pioneering study English Emblem Books,' more than thirty pages are devoted to the Jesuit author Henry Hawkins and his chief work Partheneia Sacra ([Rouen], I633), the most important Catholic emblem book in English literature. Miss Freeman's detailed criticism formed the basis for further comments, by Praz, Martz, Wallerstein, Stewart, and, more recently, Secker and Holtgen.2 The present article endeavours to throw some new light on Hawkins and his masterpiece.
