observations made to date on the manuscript Humanistic Writing
#7
Thank you, Lisa. Personally, I cannot follow discussions like these without references to actual manuscripts and the visual comparison of actual scripts, so I was quite lost.

In my opinion, the curls at the end of iin / in mostly resemble the Gothic cursiva ligature for the Latin suffix -ium, or the abbreviation for n(on) (with the curl standing for a macron). Of course, this is an old idea (e.g. D'Imperio fig.17).
Here I added to the left of your table a couple of details from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (St. Gall, probably around 1423/1436).
