Abstract

The author analyses selected issues regarding the legal status of women in the medieval Statute of Cres and Osor of 1441 within the broader context of the statutes of Kvarner, Dalmatia and Venice, statutory legal solutions in line with the main tendencies in the regional framework, and their specificities in the domains of status, family, property, criminal and procedural law. The Glagolitic texts in the archives of the Municipality of Osor and Cres show the scope of application of these statutory provisions in practice. The statutory provisions demonstrate a beneficial interaction of legal cultures of Roman, Slavic, Byzantine, Venetian, Canon law, and other legal systems.
