Greater comprehension diviner question

So if I am a diviner with greater comprehension can I effectly use other wizards spell books? With full understanding of the spell written there logicly it seems acceptable but I would like to be sure. 

Greater Comprehension gives you the ability to read any language; I wouldn't say it gives you the ability to use other wizards' spellbooks. Spellbooks aren't written in a normal language and the Wizard class feature says that they can only be read by the owner or by someone casting Identify on them.

I think this is important since Comprehend Languages (which allows you to "understand any written language that you see..."

It's a bit like Greater Comprehension/Comprehend Languages allows you to read English, French, and German, but doesn't help understanding Calculus.

Not the same, but related, using the Boon of communication.

Yeah, that's a good way of putting it.

And Identify is a first level spell that, as a Wizard, you can cast as a ritual from your spellbook onto another Wizard's spellbook. It should be in every Wizard's spellbook and it is "free" to cast (you don't need a spell slot and does not consume the 100+ GP pearl). This then allows you to read the spellbook and copy the spells from it.

 Honestly, this is the best description of that I have ever seen.  Bravo!
