The instrument name is actually "Viola da gamba (Viola) », so you’re probably right : the octaviation would be done only if one plays specifically the voila da gamba and not the modern alto.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Jacques,
"da gamba" ? For a specific tessitura ?

Hello folks,
In the viola score of a Telemann quartet in G minor, I find this notation. Does anyone know what it means?
