We know these are artifacts of Hermaeus Mora, and contain otherwise forbidden knowledge as well as act as a portal into Apocrypha itself. But aside from that, we know very little.

These tomes are nothing like the Mysterium Xarxes, written by Mehrunes Dagon. In fact, the  isn't even written in the Daedric alphabet, but in an entirely different way. The books seem to be able to transcend time, as some come from the ancient past, and others seem to come from the future. It may also be possible that they disappear and reappear like the Elder Scrolls do.

Thoughts?
