Substitution for Substitution in Measure for Measure by Anton Schütz, Chantal Schütz

“…At the heart of the play we find, this too has frequently been pointed out, the theme of substitution: Angelo substitutes for the Duke, Mariana for Isabella, Ragozine’s head for Claudio’s, the friar for the Duke, the Duke for the friar.

“…His position, which is in many ways similar to that of the Catholic Monarch Philip II, who was devoted to the defense of doctrinal purity, will be showed through the analysis of the Vida de San Jerónimo, which was published in 1595 by the hyeronimite friar José de Sigüenza. The latter attempted to clear the image of Saint Jerome, who had been caricatured a few decades earlier by Erasmus in the Vita Hieronymi (1516), but José de Sigüenza also used the figure of Saint Jerome to convey a more open approach to orthodoxy.…”

This essay examines their state-sponsored imagery, in San Marco and elsewhere, to shed light on the reasons why these three Venetian holy men were singled out as worthy of attention by their government. …”
