Necklace of the Dove: On Love and Lovers by Abu-Muhammad 'Ali Ibn-Hazm al-Andalusi, Translated from the Arabic. First German translation of Tawq Al-Hamamah (The Dove?s Ring) written in Cordoba by Ibn Hazm (994-1064) in the 11th Century. This work ?is a unique masterpiece of Arab writing in Spain during the Moslem period. Its author Ibn Hazm, otherwise famous as a theologian, here develops a complete theory of Courtly Love as evolved by the Arabs, as theory which was later to exercise a profound influence on Mediaeval Europe and the Troubadors. He illustrates his discourse, brilliantly written, with many fascinating personal reminiscences which shed a flood of light on the high civilization of Muslim Spain, as well as with much interesting and original poetry?. cf Nasr1545. #31478.
