Interesting.  But I wonder whether this, and the transcription into
   staff notation of chords A and B on the Accordatura page, are a later
   pencilled addition by someone (probably a non-guitarist) trying to
   interpret the tablature?

     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.
      Cheers, Ralf Mattes
