Qālūn ‒ Tripolitania

100 years ago there were few maṣāḥif in Tripolitana, but many men knew the qurʾān by heart.
50 years ago there were Warš copies in the mosques, and reciters knew the dif­ferences bet­ween the two main transmissions of Imām Nāfiʿ by heart ‒ mostly by general rules (usul), few specific dif­feren­ces (furuʿ)
In 1975 the Education Secretari­at of the Rule of the Libyan Masses issued a muṣ­ḥaf establish­ed by a com­mitee of scholars, mainly Tunesi­ans, but a Moroccan and two Libyans as well.
(catch word on the right ‒ unlike other Libyan editions)
In the 1980s Šaiḫ Ṣāliḥ ʿAmmār Daḫīl al-Ǧalaṣī wrote a muṣḥaf published in one, four and ten volumes;   Šaiḫ Muṣṭafa Aḥmad Qašqaš and Šaiḫ Šukrī Aḥmad Ḥāmadī signed it:
1987 Muṣḥaf al-Jamahiriya, a Libyan Quran in the trans­mission of Qalun from Nafi', the path of Abū Našīṭ Muḥammad ibn Hārūn, written by Šaiḫ Abū Bakr Sāsī al-Maġribī (b.1917) was published. Among the scholars involved were Šaiḫ Muḥammad Aḥmad Mišāri and Šaiḫ Muṣṭafa Aḥmad Qašqaš. They signed in Lailat al-Qadr 1404/1983

The (New) Libyan (Miṣrata) Muṣḥaf

The Muṣḥaf was prepared by a 7-men committee headed by Šaiḫ at-Tihāmi az-Zaitūnī. It was writ­ten by Šaiḫ aš-Šarīf Grira/Quraira az-Zanāti (picture on the left).
It includes emergen­cy pauses when running out of breath.
there is a PC set version as well
and one in 30 booklets
Because many orientalists knew only Muʿammār al-Qaḏḏafī's muṣḥaf, they thought: Qālūn has a spefic spelling.
Nonsense!
Here a few places which differ from G24, but agrees with IPak (from the book Kein Standard) (p.55) in differet Libyan editions;
there are all Qālūn, but follow different rasm authorities: Ibn Ḫarrāz before and after Muṣḥaf al-Ǧamahariyya, which follows ad-Dānī;
plus some versions from the www. The sound is the same for all, all follow the first Madani numbering, but the rasm differs:
"Uthmani" is from here: مصحف ليبيا برواية قالون عن ناف
last but one is from the web/screen
KFC UT is ʿUṯmān Ṭaha on 604 pages.
