The Ring of the Dove

Tawq al-Hamama

Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi · ابن حزم الأندلسي

Ibn Hazm’s treatise on love in the original Arabic, complete in 282 pages — all thirty-two chapters. Written in Muslim Spain, it anatomises love into its signs, its causes and its disasters, illustrated throughout from what he saw in Córdoba. It survives in a single manuscript. Text from Arabic Wikisource.

Set in Scheherazade New at 13.5pt over 1.9 leading, bound right-to-left. The chapters are short and many, so the opening of each is given room rather than run on — thirty-two beginnings in 282 pages.
