Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Nureddin Efendi began in Safranbolu in 1875/76 (AH 1292). Work began in Safranbolu in 1889/90, at about 15. The annual lists begin in 1889/90, with Mehmed Nureddin as Tahrirat kalemi mülazımı in Safranbolu, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1893/94. The last entries, from 1895 to 1901, name Mehmed Nureddin as Aktaş nahiyesi kâtibi, with no place.

Pay rose from 0 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to a peak of 135 in 1895/96, when one in ten paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 9,720 kuruş, 28 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
