Abstract
The Statute of Ilok, comprising 5 books, was written and confirmed by King Ludvig on December 13, 1525, as a law with permanent validity.In certain chapters the statute defined the place for slaughtering animals, punishments if they were injured or stolen, and this Statute also deals with legislation regarding the location for selling meat and skins, prescribing severe punishments for failure to respect them. The statute comprises 5 books with a total of 195 chapters, of which 15 chapters are devoted to animals and animal management, and products of animal origin. The first book is older and originates from 1453 when this part of the legislative was confirmed by King Ladislav V, under the governance of Nikola Iločki (Miklós Újlaki), which actually means that the town of Ilok had the status of oppidum under feudal authority.
