The Poljica Statute is the legal code of the self-governing community of Poljica in Dalmatia, written in Croatian in the Bosnian Cyrillic script. Its oldest part is traditionally dated to 1440, with additions up to the 17th century. It records the customary law of the community, including the election of its knez, property rights and penalties, and is a key source for medieval Croatian law.
