Theory

From the prime number standpoint, 353edo is suitable for use with 2.7.11.17.23.29.31.37 subgroup. This makes 353edo an "upside-down" EDO – poor approximation of the low harmonics, but an improvement over the high ones. Nonetheless, it provides the optimal patent val for didacus, the 2.5.7 subgroup temperament tempering out 3136/3125.

Relation to a calendar reform

Main article: Rectified Hebrew

In the original Hebrew calendar, years number 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 19 within a 19-year pattern (makhzor (מחזור), plural:makhzorim) are leap. When converted to 19edo, this results in 5L 2s mode, and simply the diatonic major scale. Following this logic, a temperament can be constructed for the Rectified Hebrew calendar.

The 11-step perfect fifth in this scale becomes 209\353, and it corresponds to 98/65, which is sharp of 3/2 by 196/195.

In addition, every sub-pattern in a 19-note generator is actually a Hebrew makhzor, that is a mini-19edo on its own, until it is truncated to an 11-note pattern. Just as the original calendar reform consists of 18 makhzorim with 1 hendecaeteris, Hebrew[130] scale consists of a stack of naively 18 "major scales" finished with one 11-edo tetratonic.

The number 353 in this version of the Hebrew calendar must not be confused with the number of days in shanah chaserah (שנה חסרה), the deficient year.

Other

It's possible to use superpyth fifth of Rectified Hebrew fifth, 209\353, as a generator. In this case, 76 & 353 temperament is obtained. In the 2.5.7.13 subgroup, this results in the fifth being equal to 98/65 and the comma basis of 10985/10976, [-103 0 -38 51 0 13⟩.

353edo also supports apparatus temperaments, and marvo and zarvo.
