\footnote needs braces around its argument (\footnote{...}).

The \cite command expects a reference to a bibliography entry and not 
the entry itself, you can look into the manual 
(http://pragma-ade.nl/show-man-29.htm) how you can create your own entries.

The \stopchapter command is missing.

Use = as separator for the key and entry of your chapter title.

Move \stopbackmatter before \stoptext because everything after the final 
\stoptext is ignored.
