Life and register readings
Mehmed Ragıb Efendi was born in Vushtrri (Vulçıtrın) in 1870/71 (AH 1287); the father was a medrese teacher (müderris). At about 16, in 1886/87, Mehmed Ragıb began work in Pristina (Priştine). The first annual entry, for 1886/87, places Mehmed Ragıb in Pristina as Kosova Vilayeti İdare Meclisi Kalemi stajyeri, where the entries run to 1888/89. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1893 give a second post, in Skopje as Kosova Vilayeti Merkez Ziraat Bankası Şubesi Kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1890/91 give a second post, in Kumanovo as Kumanova Kazası Agnam Başkâtibi (Görevin sona ermesi). Mehmed Ragıb then moved to Štip (İştip) from 1892 to 1895. Alongside, the lists for 1894/95 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaçanik Kazası Tahrirat Kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1894/95 give a second post, in Tetovo as Kalkandelen Kazası Tahrirat Kâtibi.
The salary went from 20 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to 320 in 1894/95, the peak, in Tetovo, when 37 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.
