| Abstract: | The aim of this short contribution is to bring to scholarly attention an intriguing document pertaining to the last years of the Order in Malta. On 24th September 1791 the Inquisitor of Malta, Gian Filippo Gallarati Scotti, forwarded to the Supreme Congregation of the Holy Office in Rome an unusual document: nothing less than a manuscript copy of an anonymous and revolutionary interpretation of the nature and role of the Order of St John and the duties of its members. Gallarati Scotti 's note, accompanying the document throws important light on the latter. |
