THE HISTORY OF BLOOD FEUDS CUSTOMARY LAW (THE KANUN) AND BLOOD FEUDS
Keywords:
The state of Arbri, Canon, Blood feud, The Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini, Albanians, Shtjefën GjeçoviAbstract
The Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini is the most discussed book about Albanian culture, not only during the 20th century, but also at the beginning of the 21st century. Before it was published by the author Shtjefën Gjeçovi in the form known today, canon norms were discussed by various local and foreign authors within the Albanian culture. The debate about the origin of the canon has been and continues to be lively. Some authors see a parallel between the Homeric ethical structure and the ethical structure of the canon, while others see it as a legacy passed down from the Illyrian period until the beginning of the 20th century, especially during the Middle Ages and the Ottoman occupation. Despite the arguments presented by various authors, some are of the opinion that the variety of topics discussed in the Canon makes it difficult to determine its exact origins, making it impossible to determine the date of its creation.
