Thanks, that is very interesting indeed. As to the question as to who
opened Isaiah 61 for Jesus' reading in the synagogue, Luke 4:14, 17 indicates
that
it was Jesus himself:

IHSOUS... ANOIZAS TO BIBLION hEUPEN TON TOPON OU HN GEGRAMMENON...
Hebrew versions:
yeshua...patach et hamegillah umatsa et ha-maqom shekatuv... (UBS, 1983,
Israel).
yeshua... yiftach et ha-sepher wa yimtsa et ha-maqom asher hayah katuv..(
Delitzsch, 19th cent.).
