دار ابن حزم (لبنان)

This page gathers the works published under the name Dar Ibn Hazm available in the My Maktaba catalogue. One point to know before ordering: two distinct houses bear this name, one in Lebanon and one in Egypt, and their catalogues and their making differ. On every listing we state which one printed the copy we ship, with the year, the number of volumes, the paper and the binding. Everything is new and in Arabic.

Two houses bear this name - this is the Lebanese one

This is the point to check before ordering, and it explains differences in price and finish that many buyers wrongly put down to chance.

A Lebanese house and an Egyptian house publish under the name Dar Ibn Hazm. They are not the same company, their catalogues overlap only in part, and their making differs. This page gathers the works of the Lebanese house; the Egyptian house has its own page, Dar Ibn Hazm (Egypt).

Lebanese editions are generally valued for the consistency of their making and the care of their annotation. If a teacher recommended a particular edition, check which country it comes from before ordering: on every listing we state the origin as it appears on the title page of the copy we ship.

What you will find on this page

The titles published under this name present in the catalogue, in Arabic and all new.
The origin of the edition: Lebanese house or Egyptian house, as it appears on the title page.
The information for comparison: year of printing, number of volumes, format, paper, binding, vocalisation.
The nature of the editorial work: bare text, annotated text, text with indexes.

Checking an edition before buying it

The number of volumes tells you the scale of the apparatus of notes. The presence of indexes and numbering decides its use in consultation. The paper and the binding decide the life of the book. And on texts meant for memorisation, vocalisation and the size of the characters come before all the rest.

As with any house of wide catalogue, the care taken varies by title and year of printing. Read the listing rather than trusting the name alone: it is the particular copy that counts.

If the title you want is not listed

This page covers only what we hold in stock at this moment. Send us the title, the country of publication you want and, if you know it, the year: our network of booksellers covers most of the editions in circulation.

The other houses in the catalogue

Find the other publishers listed from the Publishers section.

Which Dar Ibn Hazm books do you stock?

Those on this page, and only those. The house publishes across the disciplines, so you will meet it in several sections of the site. The catalogue changes as stock arrives.

Is the quality the same across all their titles?

No, and that holds of every large house. The editorial work varies by title and by year of printing. Read the product listing rather than trusting the publisher's name alone: it is the particular copy that counts.

How do I know whether the edition is annotated?

The listing says so, with the number of volumes, the presence of indexes and the nature of the editorial work. On a work of consultation, that is the criterion to look at before price.

Can I order a title from this house that is not listed?

Yes. Send us the title and, if you know it, the year of the edition you want. Our network of booksellers covers most of the editions in circulation.

Are the books new and in Arabic?

Yes. Every work in the catalogue is new, in Arabic, in its original edition. Nothing second-hand, no translations, no bilingual editions.
