Printing was not introduced in the Muslim world until the beginning of the 19th century. Although printing presses had begun to operate by then in Turkey, Egypt and Iran, they remained sparse until about the middle of the century. The technique and art of printing was not unknown to Muslims but they took pride in their age old tradition of calligraphy and resisted surrendering it to a less meticulous technique that marred the texts with errors in its process of composing them. More was the concern of scholars about Quranic texts. But gradually Turkey, Russia and India made way for the process and ‘Wahabis’ were the first to accept it, after which the rest of the Muslim world followed. This article reviews the history and development of printing in the Muslim world.
