  3. ^ L'anachronisme constitutif de l'existence juive – Nonfiction.fr: "Première remarque, sans doute à l'humour décalé : l'auteur de ces lignes a toujours entendu Emmanuel Levinas réclamer que l'on écrive son nom correctement, c'est-à-dire sans accent." Larousse.fr also employs the non-accented form.
  4. ^ Another form of the surname is Lévinas according to Levinas.fr, Universalis.fr and Britannica.com.
  5. ^ The pronunciation is the same whether the name is written Levinas or Lévinas.
