Life and register readings
Born in Dagistan in 1862/63 (AH 1279), Sadullah Lütfü Efendi was the child of a medrese teacher (müderris). Sadullah Lütfü began work in Bergama in 1880/81, at about 18, on a first salary of 350 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1880/81, places Sadullah Lütfü in Bergama as Aşar kol muharriri. Alongside, the lists for 1880/81 give a second post, in Komotini as Aşar kol muharriri. Alongside, the lists for 1880/81 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Görevin sona ermesi. The annual lists then follow Sadullah Lütfü back to Bergama from 1882 to 1884. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1887 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Redif askeri (Askerlik nedeniyle ara). Komotini, about 1,850 km from Dagistan, was the post farthest from the birthplace; fewer than 5 per cent of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from home.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 350 kuruş a month in 1880/81, in Bergama, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1886/87.
