A circular temperament is a temperament that equates some number of a given prime harmonic to the number of octaves that is closest in numerical value, by tempering out a comma of less than 600c, thus closing the circle of that interval (hence the name). The most widespread circular temperament is that of the 12edo circle of fifths, called [[compton]] temperament, and each EDO has a circular temperament for any given prime greater than 2.
