Rigging of the Grosse Jacht from the book by Rolf Hoeckel

Hi, I am looking for advice about rigging the model I am building of the Grosse Jacht as detailed in the book "Risse von Schiffen des 16. und 17. Jarhunderts" by Rolf Hoeckel. Below is the diagram in the book showing the single main mast and rig. The diagram does not show any lifts on the yards, just the Jeers, and also the only braces on the yards appear to be the sheets? Is this normal for such a rig or could these be omissions for clarity? I have included a translation of the German description from the book, although this provides no clues.
