Is there a significance to this book? I seem to recall it was actually given to Cassandra by the previous Divine. Is it meant to be a collection of prophesies/foretelling of the chaos to come? Was there some sort of reference to the events that occurred in Kirkwall, which is why Cassandra wanted them clarified by an eye witness? Does this mean she may still be referring to it in DAI?

We don't know, but I have a theory*
The Dragon Age Keep will tell the story of the previous games as we make our choices through animated drawing similar to the intro's to DAO and DAA, not to mention the act intros in DA2. These images will ostensibly have an in-game presence through that book, which contains the story of the Warden and Hawke, written by Leliana and Varric.

Perhaps the Warden's and Hawke's tales are one of many recorded in the book.

I thought it was Varric's story of the Champion. Remember how in Brian Bloom's VA thing he says "my guard serials are my most popular" and I can't recall the exact words he used but he mentions the Tale of the Champion. I'm guessing that's the book Cassandra had when she interrogated him and at gives to Leliana at the end of DA2.

It was a bit cryptic. The Divine says that the events of Dawn of the Seeker were only a beginning and they must prepare for what is to come, then gives Cassandra the book. It could just be the official seeker version of the Chant of Light and the Divine was making the logical assumption that the conspiracy may have gone further in both Templar and mage communities and I am just reading too much into it. However, the fact that at the end of DA2 attention is drawn to the tome made me wonder if the Divine had meant more by her words and the tome did have a greater significance. The very fact it was emblazoned with the symbol of the Seekers of Truth and the original Seekers were the Inquisition of old, made me wonder if this was why Divine Justinia decided to revive the order to deal with the chaos, because her predecessor had predicted it.

I don't think Varric's published story would have the Seeker of Truth symbol on it.

I suppose it could just be Cassandra's version of the Captain's Log in Star Trek and that every chief Seeker has such a book, which is why the Divine gives it to her, to record the events for posterity. May Cassandra will mention it when we meet her.

Dawn of the Seeker events are mentioned in World of Thedas and the official DA website timeline.

Yeah, but they could retcon the detail about Cassandra receiving that book

Why? She has it in DA2 interrogation scene and we saw it in the E3 Trailer last year.
I get the feeling that Dawn of the Seeker is a bit more important than people think.

Back to the idea of it containing the Warden and Hawke's stories, Komandor brought up the objection that she got it in the movie, almost a decade before the Blight. I was saying that one of the ways they could get around that was retconning that detail, but it might simply contain much more than the Warden and Hawke's stories. Either way works for me.

To my mind there are two possible explanations: the first is that it is a record of everything that has occurred that Cassandra thinks is important since she was given the book. May be this is to help her identify possible connections between events, which is why we are told that all the various events that are occurring simultaneously, are in fact connected because someone is pulling the strings. Hence Leliana saying about the disappearance of both the Warden and Hawke "that is no co-incidence."
The second is that it contains some sort of prophesy about the chaos to come. People were never entirely sure were the Divine at the time called it the Dragon Age but I believe the official explanation is that she foresaw a time of chaos and great upheaval. May be the book originated with her and was passed to Beatrix.
I must admit I am beginning to think that the first explanation is the more plausible.
