I can look at that during my next trip to the closest university.
I did look through Bach's manuscript Well-tempered Clavier, noticed that a 
natural alone sufficed (in 1722) to convert gisis to gis (BWV 853) but could 
not 
find any single sharps following single flats (unsurprisingly).

If we go forward in time to Chopin, we find lots of varied accidentals.
Editor Carl Mikuli (1819 — 1897) almost always puts the natural to cancel a 
double-flat, but never writes a natural to cancel a single-flat before a 
sharped 
note.
