The Jacobins
The Jacobins is a collection of microtemperaments of different ranks which all temper out the jacobin comma, 6656/6655.
The main focus here will be on the 2.5.11.13 subgroup, the subgroup of the comma. Besides, in the full 13-limit the jacobin comma often functions as a part of a basis of other temperaments of other families and groups, like vidar.
Quite coincidentally, 1789edo supports an enormous amount of these temperaments. Since 1789edo has a bad approximation to the 3rd harmonic, 2.5.7.11.13 is also the main subgroup for many temperaments, and 7-limit extensions to 2.5.11.13 temperaments are named "septimal …" after the original temperament.

Jacobin-naiadic
Since 6656/6655 is the difference between a stack of three 11/8's and 13/10, it is natural to choose a rank-2 temperament that uses 11/8 as the generator to exploit the comma. Such a mapping is realized through the fractional subgroup 2.13/10.11, which produces a basis with just one comma - namely the 6656/6655. Name given because the 13/10 interval is sometimes referred to as a "naiadic", and this name separates it from the standard diatonic framework.

Genojacobin
Described as the 1789 & 3395 temperament, and named in honor of Gene Ward Smith, who named the jacobin comma, and the fact that 3395edo provides the optimal patent val for the comma. 7 generators are equal to 55/32.

2.5.11.13.29 subgroup
An extension for this subgroup is prescribed because both 1789edo and 3395edo are good at 29th harmonic, which in this temperament is also reached in just 32 generator steps.

Onzonic
Named for the French word for eleven, onze, since the generator is 11/8. Initially defined for 2.5.11.13, but it can be extended.
Pure onzonic
Pure onzonic is the temperament that was initially referred to as "jacobin" before it was pointed out that the same name would be reserved for the rank-5 temperamnet tempering out 6656/6655 alone (see above).

Estates general
Named so because it is described as the 1789 & 3125 temperament due to 3125 providing the optimal patent val for the jacobin comma, 3125 is 5 to the 5th power, and Estates General were called by Louis XVI on 5th May 1789 (05/05). Defined starting with the 2.5.11.13.19 subgroup, upwards to the 2.5.11.13.19.23.29.31 subgroup.
3 generators below 600 cents lead to 25289/10240, and octave reduced to 247/200 since the jacobin comma is tempered out. 24 generators below 600 cents lead to 88/65.

Sextilimeans
Sextilimeans is like sextilififths, but the fourth that is divided into 6 in sextilififths is tuned to a meantone fourth in the optimal tuning, or about 1/4.26-commma meantone. It should be noted, however, that this meantone fourth is not ~4/3 despite that the name may suggest so. In fact, the 3rd harmonic is not mapped in this temperament at all. It is described as the 229 & 1789 temperament.
