'''1216/1215''', the '''password''' or '''Eratosthenes' comma''', is a [[19-limit]] (also 2.3.5.19 subgroup) ~~unnoticeable~~ comma. It is the amount by which [[19/15]] exceeds the [[81/64|Pythagorean major third (81/64)]], or [[20/19]] falls short of the [[256/243|Pythagorean minor second (256/243)]]. It is the difference between [[19/18]], the undevicesimal semitone and [[135/128]], the major chroma, and in addition, between the [[513/512|undevicesimal comma]] and the [[schisma]].

By tempering it out is defined the '''eratosthenes temperament''', which enables the ~~'''~~eratosthenes chords~~'''~~. Edos supporting this temperament includes {{~~EDOs~~| 12, 29, 41, 53, 65, 77, 87, 94, 99, 106, 111, 118, 130, 140, 152, 159, 183, 193, 205, 217, 270, 282, 311, 323, 364, 400, 422, 581, and 692}}.

== Commatic relations ==

This comma is the difference between the following superparticular pairs:

* [[76/75]] and [[81/80]] *

* [[136/135]] and [[153/152]]

* [[190/189]] and [[225/224]]

* [[256/255]] and [[324/323]]

* [[352/351]] and [[495/494]]

* [[361/360]] and [[513/512]] *

* [[456/455]] and [[729/728]]

* [[676/675]] and [[1521/1520]]

* [[1156/1155]] and [[23409/23408]]

<nowiki>*</nowiki> both of these commas are also within the 2.3.5.19 subgroup.

It factors into the following superparticular pairs:

* [[2431/2430]] and [[2432/2431]]

* [[2080/2079]] and [[2926/2925]]

* [[1729/1728]] and [[4096/4095]]

* [[1540/1539]] and [[5776/5775]]

* [[1225/1224]] and [[165376/165375]]

== Temperaments ==

By tempering out this comma is defined the '''eratosthenes temperament''', which enables the [[eratosthenes chords]]. Edos supporting this temperament includes {{Optimal ET sequence| 12, 29, 41, 53, 65, 77, 87, 94, 99, 106, 111, 118, 130, 140, 152, 159, 183, 193, 205, 217, 270, 282, 311, 323, 364, 400, 422, 581, and 692 }}.

== Etymology ==

This comma was named after {{w|Eratosthenes}}, the Ancient Greek polymath. According to an analysis by [[Joseph Monzo]], Eratosthenes made use of this comma by employing "standard" [[3-limit]] pitches in his diatonic [[genus]], but substituting 19-limit ratios which are very close by in pitch in his chromatic and enharmonic genera.<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_26618.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''ratios in ancient Greek tetrachords (was: Byzantine and Serb Church Music)'']</ref>
