Life and register readings

Mustafa Kâmil Efendi was born in Malatya in 1843/44 (AH 1259). At about 20, in 1863/64, Mustafa Kâmil began work in Malatya. Every annual entry from 1863/64 to 1883/84 places Mustafa Kâmil in the same post, Tahrirat ve Muhasebe Kalemleri devam, in Malatya, the birthplace. A career like this is rare; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1870/71 to a peak of 235 in 1875/76, in Malatya, when one in five paid officials earned less. Over 11 years pay ended below where it began, 188 kuruş against 200. In all, 11 years of salary come to 28,344 kuruş, 51 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1883/84.
