Although general surveys are few and far between, much can be learned from studies on particular manuscripts, for instance:

Breatnach, Caoimhín, “Manuscript abbreviations and other scribal features in the Liber Flavus Fergusiorum”, Ériu 61 (2011): 95–163.  
The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive analysis of manuscript abbreviations and other scribal features in a section comprising twenty-four folios of the important fifteenth-century manuscript now known as the Liber Flavus Fergusiorum (RIA MS 476 (23 O 48)). Some issues with regard to the expansion of manuscript abbreviations will also be discussed, and it will be seen that several abbreviations serve many more functions than their original ones.
