I'm aware ligatures and traces like ꝭ, similar to k, are sometimes used to abbreviate Latin, and the discussion of f/p looking like capitula.
Do we have examples of things like t standing for something in other Ms?
They are fairly rare.
Thomas Sauvaget pointed out a few examples in Cod.Sang.839 (1453) f.1r:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
EDIT: From You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., I understand that the first occurrence below the rubricated Quarto stands for "etc"
formari propositiones necessarie; igitur etc. Consequentia tenet, quia de illo de quo
Years ago davidsch pointed out this page from Wellcome MS.55 f.93r (in red, near the left border). This is dated 1472-1474:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
These are both a little later than the VMS. I am not sure there are other known examples of EVA:t from earlier Latin manuscripts
