Similar to those used on manuscripts
Similar to the abbreviations used as part of manuscripts
Similar with the abbreviations used in manuscripts
Similar to those in use in manuscripts

Again, what terms are being compared? The abbreviations in manuscripts are being compared to abbreviations in printed books. Are like terms compared in the original sentence? Yes, so keep it for now.

Is it better to say the abbreviations are used "in manuscripts" (Choices (1) and (4)), "on manuscripts" (Choice (2)), "as part of manuscripts" (Choice (3)), or that they are "in use in manuscripts" (Choice (5))? "In manuscripts", the first option, is most direct, so eliminate Choices (2), (3), and (5).

Finally, is it more correct to say that something is "similar to" something else, or that it's "similar with" something else? "Similar to" is the correct idiom, so eliminate Choice (4).

Choice (1), the original sentence, remains.
You read the sentence in step one: Similar to those used in manuscripts, the abbreviations used in the earliest printed texts require that the reader put forth much effort and possess extensive training if he or she is to interpret them correctly.
