Much the same can also be said of many other languages at that time. It wasn't until the late 15th century with the arrival of Caxton's printing that the conditions for a standard written English language began to emerge. The language in both spelling and pronunciation was very regional. Also the presence today of many Italian regional dialects tells us that the same was also true for that language. This is probably how most languages developed. Many regional dialects until such time as the demands of government, trade and commerce necessitated a common standard.
I really cannot see much hope from the evidence you provided for the manuscript being Bavarian, or any other Germanic language or dialect.
