which country first printed the holy quran in the world
Arabic movable type printing was ordered by Pope Julius II (r. 1503 -- 1512) for distribution among Middle Eastern Christians. The first complete Quran printed with movable type was produced in Venice in 1537 / 1538 for the Ottoman market by Paganino Paganini and Alessandro Paganini. Two more editions include those published by the pastor Abraham Hinckelmann in Hamburg in 1694, and by Italian priest Ludovico Maracci in Padua in 1698 with Latin translation and commentary.
