... The authoritative "readers" are:
Nafi (from Medina; d.169/785)
Ibn Kathir (from Mecca; d.119/737)
Abu `Amr al-'Ala' (from Damascus; d.53/770)
Ibn `Amir (from Basra; d.118/736)
Hamzah (from Kufah; d.156/772)
al-Qisa'i (from Kufah; d.189/804)
Abu Bakr `Asim (from Kufah; d.158/778)
The predominant reading today, spread by Egyptian Koran readers, is that of `Asim in the transmission (riwayah) of Hafs (d. 190/805). In Morocco, however, the reading is that of Nafi` in the riwayah of Warsh (d. 197/812) and Maghrebin Korans are written accordingly. (Cyril Glassé, The Concise Encyclopedia of Islam, San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1989, p. 324, bold added)
Conclusion 2. We can see from the above quote that the Qur'an has been passed down to us through seven men called "The Readers". The way in which the Qur'an was recited by each of these "Readers" was formerly recorded in textual form by other men called "Transmitters". This text made by a "Transmitter" is called a transmission of the Qur'an. Each "Reader" had two transmissions made of his recitation of the Qur'an. Thus a transmission is the Qur'an according to a particular authoritative "Reader". Any modern Qur'an will be according to one of these transmissions.
