Info on quarter-comma meantone and Werkmeister III were sourced from tables on Kyle Gann's web site [kylegann.com/histune.html], which in turn comes from "Tuning: Containing the Perfection of Eighteenth-Century Temperament, the Lost Art of Nineteenth-Century Temperament, and the Science of Equal Temperament" by Owen Jorgensen (Michigan State University Press, 1991).
The video featuring split sharps may be found at youtube.com/watch?v=7GhAuZH6phs
Additionally, I highly recommend the book "How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (and Why You Should Care)" by Ross W. Duffin (Norton, 2007).
