 Achillini   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The basic difference between the orthodox Averroistic doctrine and the views of Achillini concern the unity of the intellect, the object of knowledge, the theory of the concept, the theory of the double truth, and the relation between detailed natural science and metaphysics.
One consequence of his approach was that he distinguished two objects of knowledge (De orbibus, Bol 1498): the universale — the object of the intellect, and the singulare — the object of the senses.
In the question of the universals, Achillini wanted to connect the Aristotelian requirement that the universal must be contained in the singular with the need to save the purity and concreteness of the universale in the act of the intellect.

He appears to have been the first to detect valves in the orifice of the hepatic veins.
He was ignorant, however, of the researches of the Italian anatomists; and his description of the brain is inferior to that given sixty years before by Alessandro Achillini.
The researches of Étienne into the structure of the nervous system are, however, neither useless nor inglorious; and the circumstance of demonstrating a canal through the entire length of the spinal cord, which had neither been suspected by contemporaries nor noticed by successors till J.

 Elfinspell: An Italian Portrait Gallery Part 4, Paolo Giovio, Paulus Giovius, translated by Florence A. Gragg, 16th ...
Alessandro Achillini of Bologna, the careful translator of Averroes, won a reputation for thorough and sound scholarship when he was professor of philosophy at Padua, though Pomponazzi himself, who was his bitter rival, used all the devices of ambition to rob him of his pupils.
But nevertheless by the sheer unconquerable force of his learning he surpassed his rival, who caught the crown by the ingenuity of his argument and too often raised a laugh by malicious wit.
For some time before this Achillini had published books in accordance with the peripatetic philosophy on the Elements, the Intelligence, the Universe, based on the doctrines of Averroes, and on these works all his reputation for genius rested.

For he lectured on Aristotle and Averroes together in a melodious and clear voice with a delivery precise and smooth when expounding, rapid and impetuous when refuting, and, when closing and summing up, so composed and dignified that his pupils on the benches could by writing fast take down his well ordered periods.
But in public gatherings and in assemblies of scholars, when they engaged in the very useful practice of argument in the Praetorian Portico, he showed himself so remarkable that, though he was often hard beset by the subtle sophisms of Achillini, he would extricate
