Vilma Pezelj
Abstract
The author analyses some questions on the legal position of women in medieval Zadar pointing out appropriate solutions of other Dalmatian legal systems.
In the introduction, the sources of Zadar medieval law are stated.
In the middle part of the paper, questions on the legal position of women in status terms, family (with marriage), property and procedural law are analysed.
In the regulation of the legal position of women in the Zadar as in other legal statutes on the Croatian Adriatic coast, besides the existence of original solutions, the similarity to other legal systems is noticeable, in particular to the Venetian, Slavic, Roman Byzantine, Langobardian and other systems.
