Is "The Wisdow of Solomon" the same as the Book of Wisdom, which is included in the Roman Catholic canon?

No -- the two books are not the same

I can confirm that "Wisdom" has been called the "the Wisdom of Solomon." In the research I have done about the canonicity of the deuterocanonicals (what the Protesants incorrectly call the apocrypha*), I have not read specific debate over the Wisdom of Solomon, so I can't be sure this does refer to the same work, even though they both have the same title.

For instance: The Council of Nicea (I think that's the one) explicitly condemned the wicked heresies of "The Gospel of Thomas." It was long thought that a book, now referred to as "the Infancy Narrative of Thomas" was condemned, until the gnostic-pagan laugh-fest so beloved by the authors of the Five Gospels and the Historical Jesus movement was discovered.
