Life and register readings

MUSTAFA NAZMİ EFENDİ was born in Varna in 1851/52 (AH 1268); the father was a merchant (tüccar). At about 15, in 1866/67, MUSTAFA NAZMİ began work in Varna. The first annual entry, for 1866/67, places MUSTAFA NAZMİ in Varna, the birthplace, as Temyiz-i Hukuk Mahkemesi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1878. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1894. The last entries, from 1894 to 1897, name MUSTAFA NAZMİ as Sandık memuru, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1878 and Azil (dismissal) for 1896/97 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1866/67 to a peak of 550 in 1878, in Varna, when 62 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 350 kuruş. In all, 16 years of salary come to 55,800 kuruş, 67 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
