The first, an etymoloical treatment of hebrew:

Given hebrew's ancientness, and limited sampling, this is territory reserved for tip-toeing angels. Contra the title, it's arranged by hebrew ... just perfect for Logosians with too much curiousity.
I had my doubts, except it mentioned the shift in senses across time. I hit the hope-to-buy button quickly. It's a bit pricey, but Amazon is even worse. The reviews make you smile.

The second has been on Logos for ... well who knows ... it's still in prepub.

But it's a book I wish I owned. I grew up in a non-Catholic world, and quite frankly 'their' language is foreign to me. I have a couple ecclesiastical dictionaries, neither very heplful. This one promises to be .... interesting. Pretty sure.
Amazon is charging almost list (double). And the author has got to be most fascinating to listen to:
"Anthony Lo Bello is a professor of mathematics at Alleghany College as well as the author of The Origin of Mathematical Words: A Comprehensive Dictionary of Latin, Greek, and Arabic Roots and the former head of the Latin Mass Association."
