Study Notes
Kalantiaw Code 1433
- The Kalantiaw Code is a penal code written by Datu Kalantiaw in 1433.
- It was sourced from Fr. Jose Ma. Pavon’s work, Los Antiguas Leyendas de las Islas de Negros, published in 1838.
- Jose E. Marco presented the code to the National Library in 1914, where it was noted as the only ancient code of the Philippines by James A. Robertson.
- An English translation of the code was published by Robertson in 1917.
- Original copies of Pavon’s book were lost during the destruction of the National Library, but typescript copies survived.
- The code's authenticity is questioned due to a dubious origin, with no recorded provenance.
- The three remaining reproductions of Pavon’s pages reveal variations in writing style and spelling.
- Pavon was reportedly not in Himaymalayan during the relevant period and his placement as a parish priest in Cebu raises further doubts about his authorship.
- The conclusion suggests the document may have been a deliberate fraud lacking historical validity.
