Abstract
The article researches the origins of manuscript known as Novigrad collection of Croatian
common law. It can be concluded that the manuscript was written in 1452, and was supplemented
in 1454. It is possible that Venetian authorities also gave consent to that document
during that same year. It is obvious that this document was written by a social group who
wanted to uphold and protect its own particular interests. Accordingly all similar documents
of common law must be understood in the same way. Its legal and historical elements must
be supplemented with the understanding of social circumstances in which these collections of
common law were written.
