Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Aristotle's Politics was first translated into English in 1598, from the French translation done thirty years before by the humanist scholar Loys Le Roy (or "Regius"). The English translator is unknown except for his having signed "I.D." to the dedicatory epistle. I plan to argue, on the basis of internal and external evidence, that the unknown translator was John Donne, then a young man in his mid-twenties, just returned from fighting Spain and in the process of leaving behind his ancestral Catholicism for the Church of England and employment in the office of the Lord Keeper, Thomas Egerton. Though known today for his poems and his sermons (he later took orders and became Dean of St. Paul's in London), Donne in fact first came to public attention through his political writings, particularly Pseudo-Martyr, published in 1610, urging Catholics to take the oath of allegiance to James I. To establish Donne as the translator of the Politics would place his political writings and even his conversion in a startling new context; in France, as the preface to Le Roy's translation makes clear, "Les Politiques" was the name not only of Aristotle's book but of those men who were committed to adhering to the law of succession in the French monarchy without regard for whether the heir to the throne was Protestant or Catholic. It would also draw attention to the question of the impact and value of this first translation into English of the Politics, done at the height of Elizabethan age.
