Childhood in medlle ages - comparison between istrian cities and city of Ptuj

Magistrska naloga se osredotoča na otroštvo v srednjeveških mestih Koper, Izola, Piran, Trst in Ptuj. Zgodovina otrok v srednjem veku je obravnavana na podlagi ohranjenih srednjeveških mestnih zakonikov – statutov. Otroštvo je tako opredeljeno predvsem s pravnega vidika glede na to, kakšno naj bi bilo glede na zapisan statutarni red. V osrednjem delu naloge smo glede na obravnavane člene iz različnih statutov zapisali o položaju otroka v srednjeveški družini, o dedovanju in pravici do dediščine, o družinskih konfliktih in nesoglasjih, o polnoletnosti in pravni sposobnosti otrok ter o kazenski odgovornosti otrok. V posebnem sklopu je opisan tudi položaj sirot. Obravnavane statute in ugotovitve smo med seboj primerjali. Ugotovili smo, da obstajajo velike podobnosti predvsem v statutih mest Izole, Kopra in Pirana, medtem ko se ptujska statuta od le-teh v večji meri razlikujeta. Predstavljene ugotovitve nam ne opisujejo dejanskega stanja in položaja otrok, ampak nam služijo kot vpogled v tedanji družbeni redFocus of the Master\u27s thesis is on the childhood in the medieval cities Koper, Izola, Piran, Trieste and Ptuj.
