(73f. of 74, the last blank missing here) / a-e8, f-i6, k10 / 44 lines on 2 columns, goth. car. / 192 x 272 mm. First edition of the Chronique de Louis XI, known as the Chronique scandaleuse. Mainly recounting the facts of French history during the reign of Louis XI from 1461 to 1483, this chronicle is called scandalous because it mentions everything that King Louis XI did, and recites things that are not too much to his advantage. because it mentions everything King Louis XI did, and recites things that are not too much to his advantage. This scandaleuse appears in the 1611 edition, where the author is presented as a clerk of the Hostel de Ville de Paris. As for the author of this chronicle, the various editions present him as anonymous until Gilles Corrozet's publication of the Trésors des histoires de France in 1583, in which he attributed authorship of the text to Jean de Troye, an attribution repeated the following year by La Croix Du Maine in his Bibliothèque française. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that the Chronique scandaleuse found its true author in the person of Jean de Roye, whose diary was published by Bernard de Mandrot in 1894-1896, which is none other than the chronicle we're talking about. Jean de Roye (1425-1495?) was a notary at the Châtelet de Paris, secretary to Duke Jean II de Bourbon and concierge at the Hôtel de Bourbon in Paris. This first edition of the Chronique scandaleuse provides the complete text we know from two manuscripts held at the BnF. The section from 1461 to 1479 is highly developed and seems to have been written from day to day, while the subsequent section, from 1479 to 1483, is more summary and seems to have been added in a single block. A fine copy with wide margins. The title bears an old handwritten annotation Old edition of the Chronique dite Scandaleuse du Roy Louis XI by Jean de Troyes Greffier de Lhostel de Ville de Paris. Old restorations, hinges and spine rubbed and missing. Small stains to title, browning to 2 leaves (C6, C7), a wormhole to 18 leaves (A7 to C8).
