He received a thorough humanistic education, and achieved full mastery of Latin, and an excellent knowledge of Greek language and literature. He became a member of the Venetian Council of Ten. The reputation of his remarkable coin collection brought many visitors to Venice. He became an expert in the field, and a master of the science of numismatics, which was still in an embryonic state. In 1559 he published his first edition of 'Discorsi' on the coins and medals of the ancients. Accompanied by numerous engravings this work aims at presenting a history of Roman coinage of the Republican and Imperial period, extending until the age of Probus. The display of religious and military insignia, architecture, ceremonies, gestures, faces, hierarchies, tools, weapons, animals, garments, sacrifices constitute a very effective source of information on Roman antiquity, he argued. He died in Venice 1585. (Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani (1993)) Erizzo is also known for his his novel 'Sei Giornate' (Six Days) published in 1567. It consists of 6 'Giornate' of 6 stories each. The narrators are students of the University of Padua, who meet in a delightful garden on 6 successive Wednesdays in the months June and July, 1542. The stories are moralizing in character, and there is an almost total absence of amorous themes) (Collation: Quarto in 8 leaves. a8, A-2N8 (minus leaf 2N7 & 2N8); A-S8 (leaf S6 blank; minus leaves S7 & S8)) (Photographs on request) 1200 gr.…
