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

Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Sıtkı Efendi began in Ürgüp in 1864/65 (AH 1281); the father's occupation was "Ürgüp eski belediye reisi". Work began in Ürgüp in 1884/85, at about 20. The annual lists begin in 1884/85, with Mustafa Sıtkı as Belediye sandık emini in Ürgüp, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1899/1900. For 1887 to 1889 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1899/1900, the lists also place Mustafa Sıtkı in Nevşehir as Sandık emini.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 400 kuruş a month in 1896/97, in Ürgüp, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.
