Sažetak
Makarska and its Coast together with Lokva Rogoznica
and largely Poljica were in the medieval period for a long
time under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, despite bilateral
agreements with the Venetian Republic from 1444,
1561, 1571 and 1646. The result, however, was not an absolute
domination of Turkey over domestic population and
the stratification of the existing administration. In contrast,
and consequently, except the supreme tax and the
abolition of the nobility, there were no traces of feudal Timaru,
Sharia law or a violent expulsion and Islamization
of people in the time of peace. All of these circumstances
positively influenced not only the maintenance of the already
existing public-legal relations, but also the creation
of new legal and factual norms, which were described in
Croatian folk customs before Turkish rule and during it,
as well as the position of the "natives" in this "era of dependence".
The best indicator of this is the statutes of Makarska
and the Coast from 1551 adopted by a sovereign nation
or by the league and preserved in the monastery archives
in Zaostrog. The paper presents the statutes without going
into a detailed analysis but with an introductory interpretation
of some legal and historiographical thoughts of Makarska
coastal region at the time, in correlation with other
territorially or institutionally related fields.
