Regarding his chart...
Red flags went off for me when I saw that he transliterated K as "K" and T as "T", with the added dot denoting a variation in pronunciation (e.g., t and th). This is EVA transliteration, but I won't know why this was done until I read the whole paper.
------
Also, this statement is not correct, as far as I know: "Bei dem hier wiedergegebenen Text handelt es sich offenbar um ein Zitat wegen des abgesetzten letzten Wortes,..."
This is out of character for the Middle Ages. They did not write quotations like that. I don't know if I've ever seen one like that.
When they were referring to work by a previous author, they would reference the "sage" in the main text and basically said, "According to..." or "By the words of..." or something along those lines. The convention to add it afterwards, and especially to put it on a separate line, came later. It's not a medieval custom to add the source-name separately (if anyone knows of an example, please post).
When words were added and indented on a separate line, it was usually a catchphrase OR, even more commonly, something like Amen or Grace of God, or other common expressions.
