Thanks Ibo. So far so good in Vienna, but not in Paris.
I found now that Lindley is the scholar suggesting that Froberger meant some
works for ET: and he has a point in the years that Froberger, after studying
with Frescobaldi in Rome (including ET) spent in Paris, where they did not
use enharmonic keyboards.
