Originally published posthumously in 1954, this book presents a
study of the unwritten law of the Albanian mountain tribes by the
renowned Scottish anthropologist, classical scholar and
ethnographer Margaret Hasluck (1885-1948). In recording the legal
aspects of tribal life, Hasluck also provides detailed information
on the everyday existence of the tribes. Four chapters are given to
the vendetta system, describing minutely the obligations of
vengeance, the manner of conducting a feud, the degrees of
expiation and the ways of ending. Other chapters give information
about the daily life of the household; the laws governing the
division of property; the administrative hierarchy; oaths, verdicts
and penalties; theft and murder. This book will be of value to
anyone with an interest in the writings of Hasluck, anthropology
and the Albanian mountain tribes.
