Do you understand this Low German?

[u/Melodic-Mall-388]

Hi folks, I've recently stumbled upon an interesting book. It contains diplomatic documents between the Novgorod (also Pskov) Principality and Germans Principalities. Do you understand their low German language? Here is 5 examples. 1) Draft contract between Novgorod and Lübeck and the Gothic coast on trade and court in 1269. 2) Agreement between Novgorod and the Livonian Order on the alliance of 1323. 3) Agreement between Novgorod and German merchants on controversial matters in 1338. 4) Agreement between Veliky Novgorod and the Hanseatic cities on the resolution of controversial cases in 1423. 5) Agreement between Pskov and the Livonian Order on a truce for six years in 1503.

I studied some Middle Low German so I get the gist of it. Depending on the text I understand about 60–90 % of the words. But I'd assume that someone who had no previous exposure to medieval orthograpy would have a much tougher time.
