Which books of the Orthodox canon of scripture are not included in the Roman Catholic canon? Why?
 
There’s a list at the website of either Conciliar Press (which publishes the Orthodox Study Bible, which OT is translated from the LXX) and lxx.org.

FWIW, the Ethiopian Church has an entirely different list for both OT and NT with books not in either the Latin or Orthodox Canon.

From what I read a long time ago, the Latin Catholic Canon was influenced by considerations of authorship (some books did not have a solid tradition on who the authors were), ecclesiastical usage (some books did not have as universal a recognition as other books) and content (some books were considered merely repetitious histories).

The Coptic Orthodox Church has generally and historically had the same books as the Latins (I believe due to the influence of that other great African Church in Carthage), though many likewise assert origins from St. Athanasius’ Festal Epistle.
