522

Looking at maṣāḥif there are more dimensions than
Ḥafṣ or Qālūn, Azraq or Iṣbahānī, Dūrī or Sūsī,
rasm according to Ibn Najāḥ or ad-Dānī or Ārkatī,
long vowlels written by extra vowel signs or a leng­thening vowel׃
by page layout:
there is not only the Ottoman berkenar layout on 604 pages,
the 13 lines on 848 pages common in South Africa,
but the 15 line on 522 as well ‒ very common in Egypt.
It seems to have started 1308/1891 in Istan­bul (al-Maṭbaʻa al-ʻUṯmāniyya)
with a muṣ­ḥaf written by Muṣ­ṭafa Naẓīf (d. 1913)
reprinted in Kairo i.a. by ʿAbd alr-Raḥmān Muḥammad, and by Muṣṭafa al-Bābī al-Ḥalabī.
reprinted in Bairut with tafsir
in Q52 by the publisher Aḥmad Šamarlī
in a pocket edition in Tehran
in 1975 Aḥmad Šamarlī published a line by line copy of MHQ's 522 pages written by Muḥammad Saʿd Ibrāhīm al-Ḥaddād, a muṣḥaf that became famous as "the Šamarlī"
pocket version by Šamarlī or other publishers:
colour version
1960 Muṣṭafa al-Bābī al-Ḥalabī, like the small kfe after 1952: with tanMiM before the bas­mala, but with the 1924 sura title boxes, and 1924 pauses
there are many more editions:

1962 Maktabat wa-Maṭbaʿat al-Mašhad al-Ḥusainī with 17 lines per page (would have about 350 pages if all of the copy were as the first pages, but later the lines were not made longer anymore, just 17 lines instead of 15 ‒ see examples below ‒ so the muṣ­ḥaf has 486 pages of qurʾānic text):
I guess the publisher did what I tried here (re­arranged a "real" muṣ­ḥaf, creat­ing a "vir­tual" one):
"Al-rasm muwāfiq li-muṣḥaf sayyidinā ʻUthmān raḍiya Allāh ʻanhu." "Ṭubiʻa bi-iḏn mašyaḫat al-Ǧāmiʻ al-Azhar taḥta murāqabat Idārat al-Buḥūṯ al-Islā­mī­yah bi-al-Azhar."
al-Qāhirah : Maktabat wa-Maṭbaʻat al-Maš­had al-Ḥusaynī; القاهرة : مكتبة ومطبعة المشهد الحسيني، 1373/1953:


1977 the Government Press started to com­pete with a type set muṣ­ḥaf on 525 pages, the Muṣḥaf al-Azhar aš-Šarīf:
After ten years, the Azhar publishes a Muṣḥaf al-Azhar aš-Šarīf pirating MNQ:
The King Fahd Complex (KFC) for printing the muṣ­ḥaf had asked ʿUṯmān Ṭaha to write a version of the reading of Dūrī in the MNQ522 layout.
Then asked him to write one of Ḥafṣ
(the last two images ‒ as many others these days ‒ are from the collection of Muḥammad Hozien)
