Life and register readings

Mustafa Fazıl Efendi was born in Kütahya in 1841/42 (AH 1257); the father's occupation was "Attar". The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

At about 21, in 1862/63, Mustafa Fazıl began work in Istanbul. The first annual entry, for 1862/63, places Mustafa Fazıl in Istanbul as Atik-i Süvari 1. Alayı askeri. Alongside, the lists for 1862 to 1903 give a second post, in a post with no place named as a soldier (Asker). The lists have no entry for 1872 to 1883. For 1903 to 1907 the lists have no entry. The lists give Vefat (death) for 1902/03 and 1907/08 instead of a title. Entries spanning 47 years are rare, reached by fewer than 2 per cent of the 8,239 officials.

The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1865/66 to 1,000 in 1902/03, the peak, when 81 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 27 years of salary come to 163,800 kuruş, 1.2 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
