Ibn Hazm was one of the most influential Arabic speaking writers and thinkers from the 11th century. He had a polemical relationship with his contemporary, Samuel the Nagid. Both men fled Cordoba after the fall of the caliphate. He is remembered most for a book about love, "The Neck Ring of the Dove."
Traveling through Cordoba, Granada, Seville and Toledo, we retrace the 800-year period in medieval Spain when Muslims, Christians, and Jews forged a common cultural identity that frequently transcended their religious differences. This remarkable story reveals what made this rare and fruitful collaboration possible, and what ultimately tore it apart.
