Life and register readings

Mehmet Nuri Efendi was born in Sivas. The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). Work began in 1874/75 (AH 1291), on a first salary of 140 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1874/75, with Mehmet Nuri as Anbar emini and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1883. The last post was in Sivas, the birthplace, in 1883/84.

Pay rose from 140 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to a peak of 300 in 1876/77, when 30 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 8,880 kuruş, 56 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1883/84.
