Mustafa Efendi

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

Born in Erzincan, Mustafa Efendi came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Erzincan adliyesi memuru". The first annual entry, for 1869/70 (AH 1286), names Mustafa as Askerlik (silk-i askeri girişi), with no place. For 1873 to 1876, 1877 to 1878 and 1879 to 1882 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow Mustafa to Tire in 1882/83. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1891 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Muayene Memuru.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 500 kuruş a month in 1882/83, in Tire, when 59 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1890/91.

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.
