The first palaeographers to assert the Ms is in a humanist script?
#5
There are scripts that combine both Gothic and Humanist elements. Script is like language—there are gray areas where cultures merge.

I have sampled text from about 1450s, 1460s that have all the Gothic abbreviations and loops on most of the letters (not all), but which use the sparse "t" and more open spacing of Humanist-style text. It's slightly more Gothic than Humanist. You're more likely to find this in southern Germany, Lombardy, and Bohemia than in northern Germany, for obvious reasons.
