Summary/Abstract: The Serbian mediaeval law of property was concerned essentially with things (res), their acquisition and their transfer. The things (res) were considered as objects and as rights in objects, that had economic value. However, Serbian mediaeval law does not abstractly use the idea of a thing (stvar, ствар in Serbian language). In every case, Serbian legal sources quote and name any single thing that was the object of the transaction.
