For headcanon purposes I am wondering about the origin of the Elder Scrolls. I know a lot of it is open to interpretation of the player/reader. Some insights would be much appreciated as I have been trying to wrap my head around some of the Elder Scrolls properties.

If everything we know of is inside Anu's dream, where do the Elder Scrolls come from if they can be precognitive? Are they by chance ideas of Anu/Padomay given substance? Also in my headcanon is the possibility that they are insights from the godhead (original dreamer) looking into and observing Anu's (new dreamer) dream.

Also one last thing I need to clear up. Can/does Hermaeus Mora read Elder Scrolls? And if he does what is the toll? I assume he would employ one of his followers to divine them and report back, costing him a follower for the toll.
