In working with historical ciphers, reading old handwriting is often a problem. In order to get used to it, it is best to compare handwriting and its reading in actual examples. Although I'm far from being versed in the art, I dared to create a page in presenting such handwriting specimens annotated with its reading at "Paleography in Examples: Tips for Reading Old Handwriting" in 2017.
Now, I made several additions to this article. In particular, the new specimen under "Yet Another Example" look all just crawling waves except for descenders/ascenders. I hope the examples therein may help students working on historical manuscripts.
