Abstract
The author analyses some issues of the legal status of a woman in the medieval Rap Statute, pointing to the appropriate solutions of other Dalmatian statutes.The introductory part mentions the rule of the Arab medieval law, and centrally addresses the issues of women’s legal status in the status, family (with marital), property and criminal law.The desire of the municipal authorities to prevent the transfer of property into the hands of foreigners and to prevent the division of family property through peace are the root causes of women’s subordinate position in most municipal legal systems. In Rab, unlike the other statutes of the Dalmatian legal region, a woman was legally equated with the husband: she was allowed to commit, testify, dispose of calm and her share of family property, he was the head of the family after the death of her husband.The geographical position of Rab in the separation of the Dalmatian and Quartier legal region was reflected in the Rap Statute: it illustrates the effects of a number of legal systems: Croatian, Miletic, Zadar and Roman law, modernised by a glossary, indicating the existence of interactions of legal cultures in medieval Dalmatian Comunas.
