The 'Carta de Logu' was
legal code of the
Giudicato of Arborea promulgated by the ''giudicessa''
Eleanor in 1392. It was in force in
Sardinia until it was superseded by the the code of
Charles Felix in April 1827.
The Carta was a work of great importance in
Sardinian history. It was an organic, coherent, and systematic work of legislation encompassing the
civil and
penal law. The history of the drafting of the Carta is unknown, but the Carta itself provides an excellent glimpse into the
ethnological and
linguistic situation of late medieval Sardinia.
