| Biographical data |
| Name: Löwenthal, Johann Jacob |
| Also known as: János Jakab Löwenthal; John Jacob Löwenthal |
| Born: 15 July 1806 |
| Died: 20 July 1876 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Gaige has 'Johann Jacob' as does Steve Mann; Di Felice has 'Janos Jakab' as do Hooper and Whyld. Golombek has both. Metzner has 'János Löwenthal'. Harding clarifies that although the Hungarian form of his name was 'János Jakab', his mother tongue was probably German, so he was probably originally known as 'Johann'. His date of birth is usually given as 15-07-1810, but Harding (p.103) cites evidence that it was actually around 1806, probably 15-07-1806. Golombek and Alberti give death date 20-07-1876. Steve Mann gives date of death as 24-07-1876. Gaige and Sergeant give death date 21-07-1876. Harding gives evidence that his date of death was actually 20-07-1876, though often given as 21-07-1876. |
