Just curious-
Historically if the scroll was created/presented in Jerusalem- what could  
have been the languages (granted there is a lot of play as to who was in control 
 of the city)?

I believe you're  right. My grandmother has in her possession a
17th century writ from the  fuerst (roughly equivalent to a
prince in the Holy Roman Empire) granting one  of our ancestors
the right to settle, bring his brother to settle, and for  them to
marry and bring up families in a town that otherwise wuld  have
been off limits to Jews. The writ is in German, not Hebrew.
