India 1888

In 1306/1888 a folio with 1152 pages with nine huge lines with the Arabic text and two small lines with Persian and Urdu (by Rafīʿ-ad-Dīn Dihlawī again), plus on the margin Tafsīr-i Ḥusainī by Ḥusain Waʿiẓ Kāšifī was printed in Delhi.
This edition has small letters common from Istanbul to Batavia until about 1950, which I will point out here. Above the incirceld 30 you see head of ʿain ء for ruquʿ on the margin and ے for ten, twenty, thirty ...
above عب for a ten عشر in non kufī-numbering (normally baṣrī, but possible ḥimsī or madanī) and تب for a non kufī pause تام
again an ء pointing to the ruquʿ on the margin
connection between a word in red an an explanation on the margin
خب : while the main numbering (kufī) is 46, another (Baṣrī has 45)
لب above and in detail below lam+bāʾ: no end of verse in Baṣra ( ج allows a pause)
