2026 Kazan muṣḥaf
A new Kazan muṣḥaf is in print. (May 2026)
It was written by Artur V. Pisarenko, but there is no complete manuscript, no handwritten muṣḥaf on paper.
Modern as Russian Tatars are, they approached the project digitally rather than through a traditional handwritten manuscript: Pisarenko did not write all 77 430 words of the qurʾān, but only over 14 900 different wordforms (or some more because of long nūn or kāf). What he wrote, was transformed into vector graphics, which he fine-tuned and assembled into the final pages (often by cutting and pasting).
The original are files, not a handwritten book.
