A wizard can use a borrowed spellbook to prepare a spell she already knows and has recorded in her own spellbook
Under replacing a spellbook
If she does not have the spell prepared, she can prepare it from a borrowed spellbook and then write it into a new book.
So does this mean that:
1. In order to prepare a spell from a borrowed spellbook, you MUST have written it down the spell in your own spellbook at least once. You cannot prepare a spell from a borrowed spellbook that you've never written down in your own spellbook even though you may have written it down in a scroll through cooperative crafting.
2. A wizard's spells known list is INDEPENDENT of her spellbook. If she written it down in a spellbook once, she knows that spell even if that spellbook is destroyed. I mean, that's the only conclusion you can draw from the above quotes right? You can only prepare spells you know from borrowed spellbooks, and you can use borrowed spellbooks to recreate a lost spellbook.
3. You can grab feats like Spell Mastery and select spells that were in your lost spellbooks and prepare them. So if magic missile was in your spellbook, and you lost your spellbook, and civilization is nowhere in sight, you can grab spellmastery as your next feat and prepare magic missile after a rest even if you don't have a spellbook.
4. Spontaneous Divination. You can spontaneously convert heightened read magic spells into divination spells you written down in your spellbook even though the spellbook is destroyed or lost.
