2026 Kazan muṣḥaf
A new Kazan muṣḥaf is in print. (May 2026)
It was written by Artur V. Pisarenko, but there is no complete manuscript, no handwritten muṣḥaf on paper.
Modern as Russian Tatars are, they approached the project digitally rather than through a traditional handwritten manuscript: Pisarenko did not write all 77 430 words of the qurʾān, but only over 14 900 different wordforms (or some more because of long nūn or kāf). What he wrote, was transformed into vector graphics, which he fine-tuned and assembled into the final pages (often by cutting and pasting).
The original are files, not a handwritten book.

I said: When there is a title page, it is not a King Fuʾad Edition.
That is the case, but in the 1960s there were official editons on 827+around 20 pages;
they were not royal, not even Egyptian, but from the United Arab Republic

Amīriyya 1963 1383
On the page above the pauses are like 1924 (on the right I added images of the Tschudi copy digitalized in Basel), not like 1952 (of which I do not have a copy by the Amiriyya, only from ʿAmmām – yellowish near the frame – and from Qaṭar
