Inflammatory?
Inflammatory is not infrequently a word that it is wise to avoid. As a description for Solzhenitsyn's work Two Hundred Years Together it is improper. The fact that his book has been met by criticism is not a sufficient reason to call it inflammatory. There may be other reasons for those reactions, for instance that the subject itself is sensitive. It seems rash to talk about "documentably inflammatory" as other reliable sources - refrerred in the text - describe the book as conciliatory. If somebody wishes to call it inflammatory, a thorough weighing of the evidence is needed.

The context does not seem to demand any description at all. Insisting on calling it inflammatory witout due cause is, arguably - inflammatory.

As Galassi reverted my edit, he or she brought back the word pamphlet at the same time. This is a factual error. Solshenitsyn's two volume work contains more that 1 000 pages. Pamphlets have less than 50 pages. --Jonund (talk) 21:01, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, a work is it. Inflammatory stays, as it is widely considered to be so.--Galassi (talk) 21:15, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It is also widely considered not to be so. You have to motivate why some considerations are deemed more correct than others (especially when there does not seem to be a need for a description of any kind). --Jonund (talk) 21:23, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Yohanan
Yohanan, Yochanan and Johanan are various transliterations to the Latin alphabet of the Hebrew male given name (Yôḥānān), a shortened form of  (Yəhôḥānān), meaning "Yahweh is gracious".

The name is ancient, recorded as the name of Johanan, high priest of the Second Temple around 400 BCE. It became a very popular Christian given name in reference to either John the Apostle or John the Baptist.

The Hebrew name was adopted as Ἰωάννης (Iōánnēs) in Biblical Greek as the name of both John the Baptist and John the Apostle.
 * Adaptations

In the Latin Vulgate this was originally adopted as Iohannes (or Johannes – in Latin, J is the same letter as I). The presence of an h, not found in the Greek adaptation, shows awareness of the Hebrew origin. Later editions of the Vulgate, such as the Clementine Vulgate, have Ioannes, however.

The anglicized form John makes its appearance in Middle English, from the mid-12th century, as a direct adaptation from Medieval Latin Johannes The Old French being Jean.

The form Johanan, even closer to the Hebrew original than Latin Johannes, is customarily used in English-language translations of the Hebrew Bible (as opposed to John being used in English translations of the New Testament), in a tradition going back to Wycliffe's Bible, which uses Ioon when translating from the Greek (e.g. of John the Baptist in Mark 1:4), but Johannan when translating from the Hebrew (as in Jeremiah 40:8). — Yuriy Dzyаdyk (t•c), 05:53, 17 April 2018 (UTC).
