Chronique scandaleuse
The term Chronique scandaleuse refers to a collection of scandal and gossip stories from an era or a specific milieu.
For the first time the expression was in a 1488 written work about Louis XI. used by France and social conditions in the mid-15th century. The font was originally called Chroniques du très-chréstien et victorieux Louys de Valois . Only a bookseller who reprinted this font in 1611 is said to have given it the title Chronique scandaleuse .
Meyers Konversationslexikon defined the term in 1895 as a "secret (especially maliciously exaggerated) selection story of the follies and vices of a person or place" and traced it back to the French poet Claude Le Petit , who was executed for blasphemy under Louis XIV. because in 1668 he published a work entitled Chronique scandaleuse de Paris , a satire on streets, squares, bridges and palaces in Paris.
