lettre de chancellerie

 
     
  lettre de chancellerie


The most ceremonious form in which a communication from a monarch could be presented, resplendent with the titles of the sending sovereign and other regal flourishes. Normally countersigned by the foreign minister (sense 1), the lettre de chancellerie could serve a variety of purposes, including provision of the credentials of a diplomatic agent, recall of the agent, and so on. Never common, it was a form used more when there was a discrepancy in rank between sender and receiver, and typically when the monarch was communicating with the president of a republic. See also lettre de cabinet.
