I'm spot checking manuscripts on Gallica. Is this style of writing "e" mostly a French thing? I hadn't noticed its prevalence before. I mean the style where you have a bottom curve as part of the cursive flow and then an almost separate zigzag on top.
So far I'm having a hard time finding decent circonflexes in manuscripts that use spiky "e".
These MSS also tend to use roman numerals, so I haven't been able yet to check whether they use spiky "3" as well. The search continues.
