The first palaeographers to assert the Ms is in a humanist script?

[nablator]

Hello everyone

I am new here and I would like to ask you 

who were the first palaeographers to assert that the Ms is written in a humanist script. Does any member from this forum know something about that? Is there any paper about it?

Hello Beatrice,

I would be very surprised if any paleographer ever gave credence to this piece of nonsense.

The source is on page 9 of An Elegant Enigma, by Mary D'Imperio, quoting Jeffrey Krischer:

"The date of the manuscript was again placed in the sixteenth century by Mr Rodney Dennis (curator of manuscripts in Houghton Library of the Harvard College library). Mr Dennis identified the script to be in the style of the sixteenth century humanist script."
