In one of the expedition you can find a spellbook with the silence spell, a spell NOT on the wizard spell list

That would seem to be the simplest solution -- simply remove silence from the spellbook, since there's no legal way for it to get there in the first place, and even if you hand-wave it being there, a wizard can't copy it into her own spellbook, as it's not a wizard spell.

Silence is a Ritual Spell on the Cleric Spell List. Just rule that it's a Ritual Book. Or maybe even just make it a Spell Scroll that's in addition to the book. Does that resolve the issue? I don't actually know, since I don't know the adventure, but that's what I'd go with.

Silence could be copied by a book warlock with the right invocation or a character with the ritual caster feat.

the issues is not how to handle the book, the issue was how to reward it to the player and I got my answer, the wizard cannot copy the silence spell, and untill they bring a subclass cleric that use a prayer book for his spell the mention of the written silence spell is purely RP and have no mechanic effect. Just like saying the first page of the bok have a reference the the shoe siz of the owner.

Since we're on the topic of learning spells from recovered spellbooks/ritual books, was there ever a ruling made about the cantrips in the 1-14 spellbook?

You cannot learn cantrips via spell scribing. The AL rule allows copying spells as a downtime activity - it does not alter the rules of how copying a spell works. As such, characters must follow the rules for copying a spell into their spellbook (wizard sidebar), Ritual Book, or Book of Ancient Secrets

 

Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a wizard spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a level for which you have spell slots and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.

Gotcha, I'll just assume that they were a typo then.

IIRC I just saw a season 2 NPC spellbook with cantrips in it also...

Maybe they just like to write it down so they don't forget?

I mean, you wrote down your cantrips on your spellbook...right?
