Shortly after the compilation of Uthmani Mushafs, many manuscripts were written based on them<ref>Rāmyār, ''Tārīkh-i Qur'ān''', p. 471.</ref>. According to Mahmud Ramyar, since the second/eighth century, there were people who devoted their life to the transcription of the Qur'an.

Quranic volumes available today are printed on the basis of manuscripts transcribed from Uthmani Mushafs. The Qur'an was first printed in 950/1543 in Italy, but it was destroyed at the command of authorities of the [[Church]]. It was then printed in 1104/1692 and later again in 1108/1696 in Europe. The first print of the Qur'an by Muslims was done in 1200/1785 by Mawla Uthman in Saint Petersburg in Russia<ref>[http://www.maarefquran.org/index.php/page,viewArticle/LinkID,4333 Maʿrifat, Muḥammad Hādī, Pīshīna-yi Chāp-i Qurʾān-i Karīm]</ref>.
