Removed attribution to Geminiani (which is still on the typesets above) -- see RISM 806250937 - British Library ms copy "Add. 54194", ca.1771, attributed to nobody- only available source listed. Do we have anything better by way of authentication to trump that? ... No... - Schissel
I think yes. This sonata is No.3 of XII SONATE / a Flauto Traversie, o Violino, / o Hautbois e Basso Continuo. / Delli Compositioni / dei Gli Sign. / FRANCESCO GEMINIANI e E CASTRUCCI, published 1731 by Le céne, Amsterdam. The first 6 of these sonatas are attributed to Geminiani. - Notenschreiber
BTW, the sonata is well known as oboe sonata (Hortus musicus No. 178)
