This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

Mustafa Hulusi Efendi was born in Bursa in 1859/60 (AH 1276) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Saatçi". At about 31, in 1890/91, Mustafa Hulusi began work. The first annual entry, for 1890/91, names Mustafa Hulusi as mülâzemetle muhâsebe-i ilmiye kalemine yazıcı, with no place.

The salary went from 30 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to 400 in 1900/01, the peak, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, nine years of salary come to 31,752 kuruş, 72 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
