The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita (commonly called the Alta Vendita, "high marketplace") is a document originally published in Italian in 1859, claimed by some Catholics to have been produced by the highest lodge[1] of the Italian Carbonari and written by "Piccolo Tigre" ("Little Tiger").
"Piccolo Tigre" is supposedly the pseudonym of a Jewish Freemason (according to George F. Dillon, a proponent of the theory a Masonic war against Christian civilisation).[2]
Content
The author, who wrote under the pseudonym "Piccolo Tigre" is also claimed to be the author of other 19th century Masonic documents.[3]
Outcome and legacy
Pope Pius IX[4] urged the Alta Vendita to be exposed to public scrutiny. It was first published in Jacques Crétineau-Joly's book L'Église romaine en face de la Révolution in 1859.
The document was popularised in the English speaking world by Monsignor George F. Dillon's 1885 book War of Anti-Christ with the Church and Christian Civilization.[5]
Alta Vendita was analyzed in a monograph by John Vennari.[6]
