Life and register readings
Mehmed Şükrü Efendi was born in Nevşehir in 1858/59 (AH 1275). Work began in Istanbul in 1878, at about 19. The annual lists begin in 1878, with Mehmed Şükrü as Matbah mülazımı and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1889 and 1898 to 1907. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1907/08.
The salary went from 160 kuruş a month in 1889/90 to 340 in 1897/98, the peak, when 39 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, nine years of salary come to 23,040 kuruş, 52 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.
