Löw was the son of Leopold Löw whom he succeeded in 1878 as rabbi of Szeged, Hungary. Immánuel Lőw was one of the most important contributors to the lexicons of Wilhelm Gesenius for the Bible and of Carl Brockelmann for the Aramaic language.     During the 'White Terror' of 1920–21 Immanuel Löw was imprisoned for 13 months, accused of making political statements against the authorities and the new governor of Hungary, Admiral Miklós Horthy. While in prison, he worked on his four volume work Die Flora der Juden.     See https://yivoencyclopedia.org/article.aspx/Low_Immanuel and https://blog.nli.org.il/en/rabbi_immanuel_low/     For the Loew Archive in the National Library of Israel, see:      https://www.nli.org.il/he/archives/NNL_ARCHIVE_AL002653706/NLI?     _gl=1*1wd8xo1*_ga*MTA0MDMz MDY4My4xNjY0ODAyOTAy*_ga_8P5PPG5E6Z*MTY2NDgwMjkwMi 4xLjEuMTY2NDgwMjk5My41My4wLjA.&_ga=2.69717008. 1624077013.1664802902-    1040 330683.1664802902
