history of melodic minor scale

I would like to read some articles or book sections covering the history of melodic minor scale. I am interested in when the term was first used, the history of its usage, especially in the 18th century. I have noticed that Bach often comes down the scale with the raised 6th and 7th. Has anyone looked into this practice?
