The Royal privilege refers to practices in Early Modern Europe, where before publishing an imprimatur was needed.
France
In 16th century France, the state itself began to take a greater role in censorship over the University and in 1566, the Ordonnance of Moulins was issued, banning the writing, printing or selling of defamatory books attacking individual's good reputations and requiring that all books published must be approved and include the "privilège" and the great seal. The state control was strengthened in 1571 by the edict of Gaillon which placed enforcement of the censorship laws in the Chancellor's office instead of the University.
French
Sous l'Ancien Régime, le privilège du Roi ou, par ellipse, le privilège, est une autorisation exclusive d'imprimer un ouvrage. Cette autorisation était délivrée après lecture du manuscrit par les censeurs royaux.
Au XVIIIe siècle, Crébillon père et fils furent parmi les censeurs royaux les plus connus. Le premier exerça de 1735 à 1759, le fils de 1759 à 1775.
