Sažetak
The Statute of the City of Dubrovnik, dated 1272, (220 years before Colombo discovered America), contains the first mention of leprosy patients’ isolation. The Statute of Dubrovnik, along with the Statute of the Town of Korčula of 1214, is amongst the oldest Croatian legal documents. Although its points of significance and interest lie in its legal basis, it also contains a series of provisions regarding medicine and the quality of living in contemporary Dubrovnik. Leprosy was known in classical antiquity, whereby its Greek name lepra was derived. During the Crusades (in the period between the 11th and 13th century), the entire Europe was full of leprosy patients. The largest number of patients at the time resided in Dalmatia, along one of the routes used by European crusaders to return home from the Holy Land, which was of particular importance for the maritime city of Dubrovnik
