| Biographical data |
| Name: Löwenthal, Johann Jacob |
| Also known as: János Jakab Löwenthal; John Jacob Löwenthal |
| Born: 15 July 1810 |
| Died: 20 July 1876 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Gaige has 'Johann Jacob'; 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 Germann, so he was probably originally known as 'Johann'. Golombek and Alberti give death date 20-07-1876. 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. |
