Ibn Hazm of Cordoba. The Life and Works of a Controversial Thinker. Reflections in the margins of the book.

 

Camilla Adang (Tel Aviv University), "Ibn Hazm of Cordoba. The Life and Works of a Controversial Thinker. Reflections in the margins of the book"

Camilla Adang is one of the editors of Ibn Hazm of Cordoba. The Life and Works of a Controversial Thinker, which was published earlier this year by Brill and reflects the state of the art in research on the famous legal scholar, theologian and polemicist from Cordoba, who is known first and foremost as the author of a treatise on love, Ṭawq al-ḥamāma ("El collar de la paloma"). In her talk, she will discuss and attempt to explain the recent boom in publications on Ibn Hazm, both in the Muslim world and in the West, and point to the remaining lacunae in scholarship on this important author, who is regarded by many as one of the most brilliant minds of al-Andalus.
