Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Efendi began in Gelibolu. Work began in 1882/83 (AH 1300), on a first salary of 50 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1882/83, names Mustafa as an official (Memur), with no place, with a rise to refik-i sani in 1883/84. For 1884 to 1886 the lists have no entry. From 1888 to 1903 the annual entries place Mustafa in Gelibolu, the birthplace. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1902/03.

Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to a peak of 300 in 1888/89, in Gelibolu, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 18 years of salary come to 59,940 kuruş, 68 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1902/03.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
