To see how GNT mss changed over the centuries, there is no better book ( 
with loads of photographs ) than:

Metzger, Bruce M. Manuscripts of the Greek Bible. An Introduction to 
Palaeography. Oxford: O.U.P, 1981.

and on the evolution of how Greek in general was written, punctuation and 
accents included, see:
Thompson, E.M. A Handbook of Greek and Latin Palaeography. 1901 reprint. 
Chicago: Ares, n.d.   SBN: 0890050945  [ this is currently available from 
Amazon at $20 ]
