If you typeset the word λόγου with and without 'hist' you will see

Thanks for the suggestion; unfortunately I think these fonts only have
historical ligatures (hlig) rather than historical alternates (hist).
Cheers,

I've got an impression that it's fairly common for the hist feature to
include just one entry: s --> longs. In my (ahem) new Eadui script font
(at openfontlibrary.org) the hist feature medievalizes the style,
turning it from old-fashioned-but-suitable-for-modern-text to
nearly-a-manuscript-facsimile. Add in hlig and it becomes so authentic
it's nearly illegible.
