Maritime law provisions in the Statute of Pag of 1433.
Vilma Pezelj
Sažetak
In this article, the author analyses some maritime law issues in the Statute of Pag in the 15th century, with the Amendments to Local Laws which can be found in the Red Register and the Criminal Statute of Pag as compared to other statutes in the Dalmatian legal region.
In the introduction, sources which influenced the development of maritime law are cited.
Then, some issues related to maritime law are analysed: the position of the ship's crew, ownership of the ship, collegantia contract, as well as provisions which are not strictly maritime, but are directly related, like for example, provisions on customs related to the transportation of salt.
Apart from the many similarities of maritime law to other Dalmatian communes, in particular to those from Zadar, differences that reflect the autonomy of medieval towns also exist: for example standardising criminal acts related to the high seas contained in the sixth book of the Statute and in the Criminal Statute of Pag.
Besides the influence of Venetian law and of the statutes of Šibenik and Zadar, there is similarity to the statutes of the island communes (Lastovo, Mljet).
