We found 2 Reddit comments about Historical Scripts: From Classical Times to the Renaissance. Here are the top ones, ranked by their Reddit score.
For me, books. There are a lot of paleographers and calligraphers who have devoted a lot of time analyzing historical manuscripts and tracing the lineage.
Some good ones:
Historical Scripts by Stan Knight
Medieval Calligraphy by Marc Drogin
The Historical Source Book for Scribes by Michelle P. Brown and Patricia Lovett
Those are just a few. There are plenty more good ones! Also, getting into script analysis yourself can be very helpful. Start looking through the manuscript section of the sidebar and making your own observations. It can be quite illuminating.
Interesting video....it is a shame that it is not historically accurate. A much better source is Michelle Brown from London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_P._Brown Her book is generally accepted as a reference A Guide to Western Historical Scripts from Antiquity to 1600s https://books.google.ca/books/about/A_Guide_to_Western_Historical_Scripts_fr.html?id=ptkHujKjIj0C
