: I think superpyth implies a mapping of 17 due to its whole tone fitting ~17/15 very well, but calling it ''diatonisma'' for that reason is indeed quite a stretch. That said, we'd like to hear the work you mentioned. If it's not meant to be heard, the author not meant to be known and credited, then imo it's not a good source for the wiki.

I don't find the name diatonisma relevant to to this comma. There's nothing in diatonic, Pythagorean tuning or even superpyth that clearly implies the prime 17.
