Unless sombody knows another source with a more precise notation of the

I think the dot on the left of the crotchet means that it takes some
value from the preceding tactus. It could be: minim - 3semiquavers -
1semiquaver tied to the crotchet. or: minim - semiquavers triplet -
dotted crotchet. The first seems to sound more natural.
