Morocco ... Muṣḥaf al-Muḥammadī
To commemorate Hassan II's silver jubilee and later Muhammads VI's accession to the throne the Kingdom
published editions in maghrebian style ‒ both in colour and back&white.
I looked in vain for information about the printing place.
This could be the reason the reserve:: The press wasn't in the Sherifian Kingdom, but in Cairo. Al-Muǧallad al-ʿArabi (often printers make up names for special occasions) was in charge.But the third edition was home made ‒ in a press founded in Faḍāla (named Muhammedia since 1959) after WWII and bought in the 1960ies by the Minstery for Religious Affairs and Pious Foundations al-Maṭbaʿ al-Faḍāla.
While under Hassan II there was only one Royal Muṣḥaf (in cheap and in expensive editions) ‒ written by seven Moroccan calligraphers
there are new four different ones:
‒ one hand written, similar to his father's
‒ one computer set ‒ "andalusian", i.e. with green dots for hamzat,
‒ one computer set ‒ "moroccan"and the same in an expensive edition:
and with reduced colours:
‒ one with images of wooden tablets from madrasas‒ printed 2007 in Graz, Austria.
