Oliver--
While ash/aesc is the term I'm familiar with, it's true that it's just
an English term, not a Latinate one, and the legend is in Latin (neo
or otherwise). However, since "ligature" describes "oe" as well as
"ae," I doubt it would be used to describe just the ae character. I
don't know if Latin has a separate term for this character.
Others have asked about dipthongs. While ae functions as a dipthong,
"dipthong" simply describes how two adjacent vowels are pronounced, so
it's a different subject.
For what it's worth,

PS: I did (finally) get a copy of the latest ANS Magazine, and your
article was very interesting. The magazine is getting better and better.

David,
Is aesc really the proper term here since the inscription in question
is actually (neo-)Latin and not English? Latin of course used these
types of ligatured letters well before the Old English term aesc was
invented. I don't think I have ever heard or read a Latin epigrapher
who used the term aesc to describe this sort of thing.

Hi, Ray--

In English, it's known as an aesc (pron. "ash"). It was used in
Old English. Running two letters together to form a new one is called
a ligature.
