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

The life of Mustafa Rasim Efendi began in Istanbul in 1863/64 (AH 1280); the father's occupation was "Çankırı sancağı eski tahsildarı". Work began in Edirne in 1891/92, at about 28, on a first salary of 650 kuruş. Both annual entries, for 1891/92 and 1892/93, place Mustafa Rasim in Edirne as Sermühendislik muavini. In place of a title the lists give Vefat (death) for 1899/1900.

Pay rose from 650 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to a peak of 1,000 in 1892/93, in Edirne, when four in five paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
