Another thing to keep in mind, Brantana, Moffett is a fantastic historian and writer. His area of expertise isn't linguistics. I don't believe he gave much thought to anything other than the standard history of textual criticism as taught in the West.
Given the historic silence of the CoE on the topic, I don't believe he wanted to bring an unnecessary topic up. You sort of stick your neck out in these parts if you adhere to anything other than what is current dogma in the circles of academia.
