La Clef du cabinet des princes de l'Europe
La Clef du cabinet des princes de l'Europe was the first magazine in Luxembourg . It appeared monthly from July 1, 1704 until July 1794.
The magazine was a project by the bookseller, printer and publicist Claude Jordan from Valence and the printer André Chevalier from Bourg-en-Bresse . After Jordan had already published the Gazettes de Hollande in Leyden and Amsterdam and Chévalier owned a printing house in Luxembourg, the two had teamed up to make a magazine for Lorraine (then independent from France).
The title La Clef du cabinet des princes de l'Europe ou recuëil historique & politique sur les matieres du tems contains the entire program of the magazine: a look behind the scenes of the government cabinets of Europe ( War of the Spanish Succession ).
When there was a financial dispute between the two editors in 1716, Jordan went to Paris and published the Suite de la clef, ou Journal historique sur les matieres du tems , there until 1776 .
