CHAIR OF HISTORY OF CROATIAN LAW AND STATE UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB, FACULTY OF LAW MIROSLAV KRLEŽA INSTITUTE OF LEXICOGRAPHY THE LITTLE LEXICON OF CROATIAN LEGAL HISTORY 1.0 prepared by Filip Hameršak translated by Boris Blažina ZAGREB, JUNE 2013 The Little Lexicon of Croatian Legal History INTRODUCTORY NOTES The Little Lexicon of Croatian Legal History was envisioned as a learning aid for the students of undergraduate and postgraduate courses of the Chair of History of Croatian Law and State at the University of Zagreb’s Faculty of Law. The goal is to facilitate the study of exam materials through a succinct, systematic and methodologically adapted lexicographic elaboration of selected topics, especially those parts that have thus far proved harder to understand. This stage of our work encompasses terms that concern the history of legal history and legal education, the constitutional and territorial framework, the institutions of authority and social structure, and legal systems, institutions and concepts. Our future goal is to, through the analysis of legal and political acts, parties and organizations, notable individuals and families, expand The Little Lexicon of Croatian Legal History into a complete reference publication. The basis of the Little Lexicon is comprised of selected legal history articles by the authors, Dalibor Čepulo, Marino Jureković, Mirela Krešić and Nella Lonza, produced and linguistically and lexicographically edited for the Pravni leksikon (Lexicon of Law) of the Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography (Zagreb 2007; chief editor Vladimir Pezo). I offer my sincere thanks to the aforementioned authors, as well as the Director of the Institute of Lexicography, Bruno Kragić, for their cooperation. Dalibor Čepulo READERS’ INSTRUCTIONS In order to facilitate easier navigation, the articles are arranged alphabetically, and can also be found through pressing »Ctrl+f« on the keyboard. The topical- chronological list of entries is intended for those who wish to learn certain related terms, or their development through time, in a more systematic manner. It includes the following categories: a) history of legal history and © Copyright – sva prava pridržana The Little Lexicon of Croatian Legal History legal education, b) constitutional and territorial framework, c) institutions of authority and d) social structure, legal systems, institutions and concepts. As far as it was possible (as some terms fit under more than one category), the terms were ordered from the oldest to the newest (i.e. from the feudal to the civic) in all categories except a). The criterion of relationship to the central, regional or local levels of authority was added for categories b), c) and d), while the criterion of affiliation to the legislative-representative, executive (administrative) or judicial function of authority was added for category c). In addition, the entries in category d) are mostly listed from social structure to normativity in the narrower sense, or from public to private law.
