Abstract

The Pag Statue was adopted in 1433 and printed in Venice in 1637. Up until the end of Venetian rule (1797) it was the fundamental legal basis for the Pag Municipality, but its original manuscript has not been preserved. In this Statute, 31 chapters are dedicated to animals and animal products, in the fourth and sixth volumes. In the 4th volume, the 9th chapter regulates the relationship of shepherds and the owners of animals, that is, their mutual obligations, and three chapters deal with how animals should be kept. In the 6th volume, chapter 1 prescribes the relationship between shepherds and the owners of animals, chapter 11 regulates damage caused by animals, how to judge the extent of the damage and forms of compensation. Two chapters regulate how to keep animals and five chapters regulate the sale of products of animal origin.
