“Thus Spoke Lekë” − On the Problematics of The Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini

Abstract

Tekst se odnosi na problematiku nastanka i zadržavanja albanskog običajnog prava, a napisan je povodom objavljivanja knjige »Kanon Leke Dukađinija«. Nakon navođenja nekih općih karakteristika albanskog običajnog prava, dana je njegova definicija, te distinkcija od morala i prava što pomaže pri njegovu smještanju u društveno-historijski kontekst, te sagledavanju uvjeta nastanka, nestanka i zadržavanja starih ustanova. Osvrt je usredotočen na prikaz uvjeta održavanja Kanona s posebnim naglaskom na faktore (geografske, društveno-historijske, materijalne i kulturne) koji su međusobnom interakcijom pridonijeli njegovu održanju. Nakon usporedbe s drugim zakonicima i običajnim pravima, u posljednjem odjeljku dan je pregled najvažnijih institucija običajno-pravnog ponašanja, čije je višestoljetno poštivanje formiralo specifični etnički identitet albanske narodnosti.This review, written on the occasion of the publication of the book “The Kanun of Leke Dukagjini”, deals with the origin and preservation of the Albanian common law. After presenting some general characteristics of the Albanian common law, the text defines it and indicates the differences between morality and law, placing common law in a social and historical context. Conditions bearing upon the origin, extinction or preservation of old institutions are outlined. The review focuses on those specific (geographical, social and historical, material and cultural) factors whose mutual interaction contributed to the preservation of the kanun. After a comparison with other statutes and common law codes, special attention is paid to the most important institutions of common law that through many centuries helped form the specific identity of the Albanian nationality
