If it were the 7 Grimms to explain what the Stick is captable of I suggest it is written in an indogerman (dont know the right word for it, just the German expression), old dialect from the Middle Ages used in Germany, England and Scandinavia (cuz I think the 7 Grimms all came from the region around the Black Forrest). If the parchment was written in Constantinople I wonder how the Grimms found out what the stick can do, either if they read the parchment themselves (what means it was written in a language common in Middle Europe) or they learned the language it was written in. The other way would be that the Grimms saw its power for example like Nick did when a wound was healed in seconds, but then there would have to be recordings about it. That would also explain how the Royal Families found out that the Grimms hid something from them and that they would need the keys (if the Kronenberg Family isnt the only one that hunts Grimms for the keys).

Atm Im thinking the stick is a part of Jesus Christs Cross, that would explain how he managed to be reborn, that healing power sure is frightening (i mean, being able to bring the Deads back, that power will make the one who holds it the most powerful being in the world, also he will be invincable and live forever) But im sure there are some surprises left around that stick and even if its a part of the Cross, where is the rest? I hope so hard its just the beginning of something that could change the world just like Diana. Linking into that theory about it being a part of the cross, what if Jesus was a super powerful Koschie and that the wonderstick (wherever it came from) somehow absorbed some of his healing power when he got pierced by Longinus's spear?

Aside from Latin, I think the most common language in Europe at the time of the crusades might have been French. Glimpsing at the parchment's faint writing, it doesn't appear to be either, but it could be easily proved with a UV Scan or even some kind of procedure that picks out indentations and grooves caused by quills or stuff in the parchment.

Also, second thought. What if it's written in blood?

That could be an interesting thing, where being Grimms themselves, the knights might've used the blood of Wesen as ink, or even their own blood, like a 'blood-brothers pact' or something? I think that could be a pretty neat thing to happen.

Of course, if Nick were to take this in for testing, there'd have be a pretty big excuse for the lab as to why he wants a bloody scrap of parchment tested scientifically without blowing the cover of the Wonderstick.
