Huth's reading of f116v: "gâs" as "ganz" confirmed in medieval German corpus

"Nimm schnell" is standard German. "Nimm schnell ein Taxi!", "Nimm schnell ein Stück Kuchen!" — nobody would question these. 

The reason "nimm schnell mich" feels unusual is not that it's ungrammatical, but that it foregrounds the urgency over the object. You don't expect it because normally "mich" would carry more weight than "schnell." But unusual emphasis is not the same as wrong grammar. If on f116v someone is pleading to be taken urgently — by death, by God, by a beloved — the urgency might genuinely outweigh the object.
