[[159edo]] is a notable [[17-limit]] system. It first contains [[53edo]], tempering out Mercator's comma.

159edo has attracted a lot of attention from prominent microtonalists like [[Ozan Yarman]], [[Dawson Berry]] (also known as [[Aura]]), [[Gene Ward Smith]]. In addition, some of its multiples have large consistency limits as well, and this naturally commends itself to 159th-octave temperaments.

This page collects temperaments that are of theoretical interest specific to 159edo, beyond just [[53edo]].

''Auric'', named after [[Aura]], is defined by setting the 2.3.5.11 mapping to that of 159edo and the generator for the prime 7 being independent.
