The only ones I feel reasonably confident about are the two I marked at the top. I'm reluctant to make a judgment about the rest... I would need bigger blocks of text. Humanist scribes were more consistent (and similar) than Gothic scribes, so it's a real challenge to distinguish them.
So I was scratching my head, trying to figure out the best way to list the ones I was less certain about and ended up with a somewhat top-down list of most likely to least likely.
But even this I'm not completely sure about. The last one on my list is rapid writing, cursive, and a person's cursive text can look quite different from the same person's calligraphic hand, so even though I put it at the bottom (least similar), it maybe belongs nearer to the top as it is not a completely different style, it's just a different application (cursive versus more formal hand).
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the answers.
