Dear yahya

I didn't want to say he invent it , I told, as documented in his book and works of others , he is the first to introduce usage of 144-edo . Is it possible for me to know some reasons of your claim about 144-edo and farabi?

thanks

Hi Ozan,

I had hoped you would have more to say on this ...

IIRC, it's only a few months back you were saying how the
classical tuning, with 53 steps per octave, gave wholetones
of 9 steps and semitones of 4 or 5. What's the history of
this division; was it 53-EDO; and who introduced it and when?
(Surely not al-Farabi, who Shahin tells us went for 144-EDO.)

Regards,
Yahya
