the new edition on 848 pages with 13 lines
After 14 impression of a Taj Company Ltd edition with 13 lines,
the Waterfaal Islamic Institute made a page identical type set version.
I like the Uṯmān Ṭaha like font.
I like that they moved و/wa/and from the end of (many) lines
to the place where it belongs: just before the word of which it is really a part.
I think it horrible that they always place the upright fatha before hamza/alif instead of putting it above or after. First line from the new edition -- the others from Indonesia, Medina and Pakistan:
Unfortunately there are other mistakes:
(third line:) ۵ stands for non-Kufī (mostly Baṣrī, occasionaly Ḥimsī or Madanī) end of āya
It is an excellent idea, that "A small circle on a letter denotes
that such a syllable mut not be pronounced during continual recital,
but should be recited when pausing"but
WII does not apply this ("their") rule:
I checked nine places, where the letter/the syllable is mute:
on top five: always mute --> no sign (accoring to the Indian rule, and the WII rule)
bellow four: not mute ater a pause --> a circle according to the WII rule
Twice they did it the wrong way:
(in the middle column another 848page edition (written by Ḫalīq Asadī), as well two mistakes)
Here is the last page with the qurʾānic text
