Honestly, my suggestion would be Jorgensens little yellow book, which 
I cant put my hand on right now. I think it's The Equal Beating 
Temperaments and should be still available from the Harpsichord 
Clearing House (www.harpsichord.com). It is a clear introduction to 
tuning historical temperaments by ear, a practice that forces you to 
really listen to and understand the sound of the tuning rather than 
the theory. Just MHOP.
