Alessandro Achillini (Latin Alexander Achillinus; 1463 - 1512) was an Italian philosopher and physician.
He is known for the anatomic studies that he was able to publish, made possible by a 13th-century edict putatively by Emperor Frederick II allowing for dissection of human cadavers, and which previously had stimulated the anatomist Mondino de Luzzi (c. 1270 – 1326) at Bologna.
"from a distinguished family in Bologna, one of the most learned Averroists of his time, famous for his sagacity, professor of philosophy, later of medicine, in his native city.
Achillini, who... in his anatomical descriptions, as well as the relationship to practical medicine, know, among other things, the appendix valve, the opening of the ductus choledochus into the duodenum, and is valid for the first describer of the hammer and the anvil... " (Haeser II, 24 f.; see also Hirsch/H. I, 16).
