A Pitaval is a collection of causes célèbres. The name derived from the French advocate François Gayot de Pitaval (1673–1743), wo published several volumes of ''causes célèbres et intéressantes'' between 1734 and 1743. Early works were mainly written for legal professionals but later Pitavals also became popular amongst other readers. In the 19th and early 20th century the idea of publishing criminal cases quickly spread in Europe. Pitavals became a well-known literary genre, which was often imitated.〔Todd Herzog: ''(Crime Stories: Criminalistic Fantasy and the Culture of Crisis in Weimar Germany )''.
