I have a digital edition of Majma' al-Anhur Fi Sharhi Multaqa al-Abhur published by Dar Ihya' al-Turath al-Arabiy. But I am not sure how reliable this edition is. Hence the question: does anyone know which edition of Multaqa al-Abhur is the best, most reliable, free of typos & comes preferably with tashkil?

PS. Multaqa al-Abhur is a unique 'encyclopedia' of Hanafi Fiqh containing relied upon (mufta bih masail) articles of Qudri, Mukhtar, Kanz, Wiqaya, Majma and Hidayah. This book was taught in Ottoman Madaris for centuries. It's been perfected by Mehmet Efendi who added even more topics to it from dozens of classical work in his famous Turkish translation called Mevkufat.

The old Turkish editions are the relied upon ones, such as the Matba'ah al-A'mirah edition in 2 big volumes printed in 1328 ah.
This was copied by Dar Ihya at-Turath al-Arabi and is still available in the market, however it is hard to find.

Dar Ihya at-Turath al-Arabi then printed a 4 volume edition, however I don't think it is a good one.
Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah also printed an error-riddled 4 volume edition.

A group of scholars from Istanbul started editing this book a few years ago. The first volume was printed in Istanbul in 2004, however their work seems to have stopped, as I have't heard of it thereafter.
Their edition is probably the best edition, however it is missing Haskafi's Sharh in addition to being incomplete.

Mufti Saheb for valuable information.

I am glad that my digital copy is two-volume edition by Dar Ihya at-Turath al-Arabi.

Scholars of Ismail Aga (Mahmud Efendi's Jamaat) produced single bind Multaqa without sharh - a book consisting of just 516 pages. Usually they vocalize their Arabic books for full tashkil just like they did it for Sarf and Nahw collections. As for the one printed in 2004 Istanbul, yesterday I found this link where it looks like they have completed the work in two volumes, but it is already out of stocks. I am not sure if it is the same book you mentioned and I never heard of this publisher: el-Mektebetü'l-Hanefiyye by whom the book was published. Fascinatingly, Mehmet Celik [a Mufti - an expert in fiqh whose fatwas are to be sought and considered to be reliable as per Mahmud Efendi's recommendation] has translated into Turkish complete edition of Majma'ul Anhur entitled Damad Tercümesi in 5 volumes, though the last volume has not been released yet.

The edition you found mention of printed by Maktabah al-Hanafiyyah is a copy of the old 2 volume edition.
This bookstore is in Charshamma, just as you step out of Ismail Aga Jami. They print just a few books, mainly copies of old editions.

The one I am referring to contains no info about the publisher. The publisher given on the cover is كتاش
This edition will be in at least 4 volumes.
The title page says:

Mufti Saheb. That's all I need to find out about the book.

Assalamu alaykum verdana

Is it possible for you to send me the PDF of the two-volume Dar Ihya Turath al-Arabi ed. you have? I have a two-volume letterpress ed. printed in 1904 in Istanbul (the publisher is Sharikat Khariyah Sahafiyah--something like that, I don't really know how to read the Turkish), and by now the occasional word is hard to make out, so I'd like to compare with your PDF when I want to write them in. And I'd like a good digital copy in general for when I don't have the physical books on me.
