The Ring of the Dove or Ṭawq al-Ḥamāmah (Arabic: طوق الحمامة)[1] is a treatise on love written in the year 1022 by Ibn Hazm.

[1] Normally a writer of theology and law, Ibn Hazm produced his only work of literature with The Ring of the Dove.

[4] Although the human aspects of affection are the primary concern, the book was still written from the perspective of a devout Muslim, and as such chastity and restraint were common themes.

The book provides a glimpse into Ibn Hazm's own psychology.

Ibn Hazm's teenage infatuation with one of his family's maids is often quoted as an example of the sort of chaste, unrequited love about which the author wrote.
