About
Ibn Hazm (994–1064) was an Andalusian jurist, theologian, historian and man of letters, active in and around Córdoba during the decline of its Caliphate. A leading exponent of the Zahiri school of Islamic law, he is credited with several hundred works on jurisprudence, logic, ethics and comparative religion, most of them now lost.
He is best known outside specialist circles for Tawq al-Hamama (The Ring of the Dove), a treatise on the nature and stages of love illustrated with anecdotes from his own life and the lives of people he knew.
