  • Wilhelm Levison (* 27. Mai 1876 in Düsseldorf; † 17. Januar 1947 in Durham) war ein deutscher Historiker. Wilhelm Levison lehrte als Professor für Geschichte an der Universität Bonn. Wegen seiner jüdischen Herkunft wurde er 1935 auf Druck der Nationalsozialisten aus der wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeit ausgegrenzt und als Hochschullehrer zwangspensioniert. Im Frühjahr 1939 gelang es ihm, nach England zu emigrieren, wo er an der Universität Durham weiter forschte. Levison war einer der besten Kenner des Frühmittelalters in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seit 1899 war er Mitarbeiter, seit 1925 Mitglied der Zentraldirektion der Monumenta Germaniae Historica, für die er vor allem Quellen aus der Merowingerzeit edierte. (de)
