Looks very much like it (I assume pdf page 28 equals image_27).
Even stronger evidence: Fol. 8v (the page just before that page).
Faint writing, but clearly a violin clef with the guitar's tuning.
Below that, a tablature fragment with pitch names in front of
the lines(top to bottom): A D g h e
Now that's a clear source ...

Only question: why is that verso page so faint - at a first glance
it seemed that these faint pages where empty pages where the writing
on the verso page shined through, but not for this page.

Or something close to equal temperament. But this isn't big news,
 semi-equal tempraments rather being the expected.
