No exact titles for books matching those descriptions. Sorry! The closest thing would be Essences and Permutations - A Treatise of the Six Elements, which was originally found in 1.0's CNJ Guild library, back when Conjurers controlled all six elements. It was again referenced in the 2.0 quest The Greatest Story Never Told, and now rests in 3.0's Gubal Library.
Below I've spoilered other canon Eorzean literature:
Hope that helps! Lemme know if you'd like quotes from some of the publications listed above, I've got O'er Westward Seas, Over the Horizon, On Garlean Hierarchy, and Leather-bound Journal text in my screenshots.

Fernehalwes Wrote:Is there a mythology about the Twelve that isn’t mentioned in-game? (ex. Holy books, manuscripts, rituals, etc.)
Answer: Yes, a great deal of mythology exists. Unfortunately, a lot remains unreleased. The storyline in 2.0 should reveal much more about the Twelve, but until then, I leave you with this Fun Fact: perhaps you have noticed, but in several of the dungeons in La Noscea you will find locations on your maps with names like "Llymlaen's Folly" or "Llymlaen's Trial." These are, in fact, sacred sites for the followers of the Navigator--each representing one of the 12 chapters in the tale of Llymlaen's Ascent. As part of their worship, followers risk their lives to perform yearly pilgrimages, visiting all twelve sites in the order they appear in the tale.
The chapters (in order) are as follows:
Llymlaen's Folly
Llymlaen's Flight
Llymlaen's Tempest
Llymlaen's Clarity
Llymlaen's Resolve
Llymlaen's Bearing
Llymlaen's Trial
Llymlaen's Encounter
Llymlaen's Stand
Llymlaen's Triumph
Llymlaen's Oath
Llymlaen's Ascent
