2014 Reprint of 1931 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Ibn Hazm
(died 1064), drawing upon personal experiences, composed this
famous work on "pure love" called awq al- am mah ("The Ring of the
Dove" or "Dove's Neck Ring"). Its lucid prose, interspersed with
poetry, has many times been translated into Western languages. The
theme of love was especially popular, and a wide variety of
intellectuals focused their attention on it. It is a charmingly
intimate portrait of social intercourse within the Islamic
community of the 11th century. This work, a blend of sensibilities
nurtured by a harem education in his youth and the prudery of a
scholar's Koran based ideals, was Ibn Hazm's masterpiece of courtly
love-love Platonic, exquisite by unrequited. Europe's troubadours
imbibed "The Dove" like a fine wine.
