That’s a very reasonable point of view, actually…
The score mentions: "Aussetzung des Generalbasses: Maria Ermeler ».
I don’t know anything about her, but at places, the same score looks like this:

One clue is the end of the 8va bassa in the middle of bar 73. If this had the usual meaning, it would suggest a somewhat strange run with a leap of a seventh at one point.
The German for "double stopping" appears to be Doppelgriffen. Could this therefore be a German-Italian composite meaning "col 8va bassa"?
