While IDEO held a conference on "100 years" of the "Cairo Edition" without having a single copy -- either of the 1924 edition by al-Ḥusainī al-Ḥaddād nor the 1952 by aḍ-Ḍabbāʿ & colleagues, neither a big one, nor a small one, not even a version by a commercial or foreign publisher, just a 1971 print of the 1952 text on 548 pages with 15 lines -- both the Berlin Staatsbiblothek

and Muhammad Hozien

have severval copies.

While the Staatsbibliothek was just lucky (getting an intact copy of 1952 with the dedication to King Fuʾād [from East-Berlin] and one in which the republican bookseller had torn out the page [from West-Berlin]), Muhammad Hozien searched, because he knew that they are not just prints of the same.
