Margo Schulter suggested the name "Cartesian" in a 2002 [https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_39613.html article] on the Yahoo tuning list. Also, under the name "Euler-Fokker genus", Manuel Op de Coul gave [[Scala|Scala]] the capacity to construct Cartesian scales. Perhaps the first person to consider a Cartesian scale was Nicola Vicentino; his original conception for his [http://www.tonalsoft.com/monzo/vicentino/vicentino.aspx second tuning of 1555] was for two 19 note 1/4 comma meantone scales (Meantone[19] in 1/4 comma tuning), separated by an interval of 1/4 of a syntonic comma, ie. (81/80)<sup>1/4</sup>; he only changed this to a 19+17 version because of physical limitations.
