If anyone is looking for these as usable fonts I found this french designer Gilles Le Corre - http://www.gilleslecorre.com/pages/fonts.html - who makes a lot of fonts based of old manuscripts and books.

I'm currently taking a coursera typography class - I'm glad I can understand some of the historical context here.
