Life and register readings
Born in Sarajevo (Saraybosna) in 1867/68 (AH 1284), Mahmut Enver Efendi was the child of a merchant (tüccar). The schooling was at the Imperial School (Mekteb-i Sultani).
At about 21, in 1888/89, Mahmut Enver began work. The annual lists begin in 1888/89, with Mahmut Enver as Umur-ı Şehbenderi Kalemi mülazımı and no place named.
Pay rose from 30 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 1,800 in 1899/1900, when 92 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 110,160 kuruş, 2.3 times what an official on the median salary earned. The peak was 60 times the first salary, a rise matched by fewer than 4 per cent of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.
