Dear Fynnjamin,
I think I can help a bit to identify the remaining arias on the page with the 12 selected Arias by Johann Adolph Hasse. The duet "Ah se di te mi privi" and the aria "Va più non dirmi infida" are from "Ipermestra"; the other seven numbers are all from "Artaserse" - at least the words of these arias occur in Metastasio's libretti of "Ipermestra" and "Artaserse". The trouble is that Hasse composed two musically different settings of "Ipermestra" and even three of "Artaserse" (1730, 1740 and 1760)! So a complete score of each of these settings would be necessary to tell exactly from which one a certain aria comes.
Best wishes
