Abstract
Some issues of the legal position of women in the medieval Hvar Statute of 1331 compared to other Dalmatian statutes (especially Brač and Korčula) and Kvarner (Vinodol Law, Cres-Osor) are considered. Thereby, the aspects of the solutions of statutory law that are in line with the main tendencies are reflected on, as are possible specifics in terms of status, family, property, criminal and procedural law. Analysis of notarial records and archival material indicates the extent to which the statutory provisions were applied in everyday life. The statutory provisions of the Hvar Statute show a beneficial interpenetration of two basic legal cultures: Slavic and Roman, but also the influences of the canonical and Venetian legal systems. This interpenetration, while respecting the specifics of the Commune itself, connects the Hvar Statute with other statutes and also with Europe and the roots of the legal systems of modern European integration.
