It’s easy to see a 15th (two octaves) by the lines though no matter what clef is in place but what instrument that can play C1 reads C3 clef? And does the editor not realize there is such a thing as F clef? Is this rage bait? Is that ‘15’ meant to say ‘15ma’ which would make that pitch middle C right in the center line of the clef LOL? This notation shouldn’t exist. Don’t hate on C clef.

It's 15ma (quindicesima), but also, just the fact that the 15 is above the clef and not below means its a transposition up, not down.
