Synopsis

This book offers the first publication of the 1272 Statutes of the city of Ragusa, the sole legal code of medieval Ragusa, providing a unique insight into the laws and social norms of a vibrant Mediterranean trading hub. Written by an anonymous author, the code offers a detailed examination of the magistracies and their duties, the forms of oaths taken by a variety of officials, judicial procedure, domestic matters including patria potestas, the division and succession of property, with a particular emphasis on nuptials and dowries, real estate, serfdom, criminal justice, and maritime law. The extensive supplementary laws added to the code over the following centuries by Venetian overlords and later the rectors of the city, are also included. A significant historical document, this book will be invaluable to scholars of legal history and those interested in the medieval Mediterranean world.
