طوق الحمامة

Written about 1022 by the Andalusian scholar Ibn Hazm of Cordoba, the Ring of the Dove is a treatise on love and lovers, set out in thirty chapters from the nature of love and its signs to meeting, separation, betrayal and death, and closing with the ugliness of sin and the merit of chastity. It is a book of essays, but it is held together by the stories Ibn Hazm tells of people he knew, and by his own verse.
