I think it's easier to notice some patterns in modern era, because everyone is literate and writing with pencil or pen is very simple. Men tend to have rough sharp writing, and females tend to have rounded letters - but even then its hard to say.
I think it's impossible to read such details from quill and ink. It requires more concentration and conscious effort to write with it. Today we write basically unconsciously, therefore some patterns emerge.
What would the gender of the scribe change? I've read that there were female scriptoriums in Europe, do you want to pinpoint location? Or are you just curious.
