Censorship in the Ancien Régime (original) (raw)
Under the French Ancien Régime, royal censorship was the task of censors appointed by the Chancellor to judge the editorial legitimacy of a manuscript and to authorize its publication by an approval they signed. At the same time, a privilege in the form of letters patent granted in the King's Council, most often to the bookseller, guaranteed not the content, but the property of the publication against the counterfeiters. This renewable privilege was for three years, or even without limitation for certain basic works (fathers of the Church, etc.).

Parallèlement, un privilège sous la forme de lettres patentes accordées en Conseil du roi, le plus souvent au libraire, garantissait non le contenu, mais la propriété de la publication contre les contrefacteurs. Ce privilège renouvelable était de 3 ans, voire sans limitation pour certains ouvrages de fond (pères de l'Église, etc.). Les brochures de 48 pages in-12 au maximum, étaient l'objet d'une permission simple accordée par le lieutenant général de police du lieu. (fr) |
