Inhaltsverzeichnis

Leben und Werk

Lewent promovierte an der Universität Berlin bei Adolf Tobler über Das altprovenzalische Kreuzlied (Erlangen 1905, Nachdruck Genève 1976). Parallel zu seinem Schuldienst in Berlin hatte er einen Lehrauftrag an der Universität. Wegen seiner jüdischen Abstammung wurde er von den Nazis entlassen und floh 1941 über Sibirien nach New York, wo er an der Columbia University ebenfalls einen Lehrauftrag für Altprovenzalisch bekam und seine Publikationstätigkeit fortsetzte, aber von einem Brotberuf lebte. Lewent war ein hervorragender Kenner der altprovenzalischen Troubadourdichtung.
