Life and register readings

Mustafa Rahmi Efendi was born in Ürgüp in 1878/79 (AH 1296); the father's occupation was "Beşiktaş Saray-ı Hümayun teberdarı". The first annual entry, for 1901/02, places Mustafa Rahmi in Istanbul as Mabeyn-i Hümayun hademesi, where the entries run to 1908/09. At the same time, from 1908/09, the lists also place Mustafa Rahmi in Ürgüp as Ziraat Bankası sandık muhasebe kitabeti refakat memuru.

The salary went from 60 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to 250 in 1908/09, the peak, in Ürgüp, when one in four paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 8,040 kuruş, 20 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.

Places in order of time
