1960s, 1970s, 1980s in the Mašriq

While in Egypt editions on 826/7 pages were replaced by reduced page editions (except some tafāsīr), Bairut, Dimašq, ʿAmmān, Doha and Kuwait printed almost hundred editions, mostly in one volume, some in 30 parts.
While die KFA until the end re­produced both the Pub­lication details of 1924 and 1952, the ʿAmmān edition that survives in archive.org has three colo­phons:
I am unhappy with the pagination in the Bairut, Damas­cus, ʿAmmān, and Doha editions, which dis­pense with the Amīrīya's separate pa­gination for the non‑Qurʾānic material, i.e. running the numbering straight through to 852 or 855 respectively — the Šāmī editions includ­ing seven pages on the dif­ferences from 1924 (as in KFA II), the Qatari one having four pages of duʿāʾ al-ḫātima instead. In doing so, however, all these continuously paginated editions commit a pagi­nation mal­practice: they do not count the blank page between the Qurʾānic text and the ap­pen­dices, so al­though in the Qurʾānic section all even‑number­ed pages are on the right, the ap­pendices have odd‑numbered pages on the right‑hand side.
