The [[The Jacobins #Pure Bastille|1407eff & 1789 temperament]], named ''pure bastille'', tempers out the [[jacobin comma]], which brings two great French Revolution terms in one temperament. However, from a just intonation perspective, such temperament may be too complex, even for edos in the thousands. On the other hand, taking patent vals of 1407edo and 1789edo in the full 13-limit produces a temperament whose fifth is mapped to [[112/75]], a relatively simple interval on this scale. Comma basis for this version of bastille is {384912/384475, 41765625/41746432, 4501875/4499456, 540078539/540000000}. The common thing between the two temperaments is that fifteen stacked generators lead to [[8/5]]. Given the precision, such a characteristic is quite remarkable for edos in the thousands to support.

Since 112/75 is called marvelous fifth, the most straightforward name for this temperament is ''marvelous bastille''.
