Sažetak
The authors analyze some questions on the legal position of women in the medieval Statute of Skradin, pointing to solutions in other Dalmatian legal systems, notably in the statues of Split, Trogir, Zadar and Šibenik, which is necessary due to the ambiguity of statutory matter.
Sources of Skradin's medieval law are cited in the introduction, while the rest of the article addresses the issues of the legal position of women in status, family, property, criminal and procedural law.
The tendency of community authorities to prevent foreigners from gaining property and to prevent the division of family property by dowry were the fundamental causes for the inferior position of women in communal legal systems. Legal position of women in statutary regulations of the Statute of Skradin is further examined through an analysis of the few preserved notary records. Statutory regulations present the normative side of the medieval legal system, while notary records yield a more complete insight into the legal position of women in the medieval Skradin.
