Life and register readings

Born in Körpe in 1850/51 (AH 1267), Mustafa Efendi was the child of a farmer (çiftçi). At about 14, in 1864/65, Mustafa began work, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1864/65, names Mustafa as Eczahane hizmeti, with no place.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1864/65 to a peak of 350 in 1894/95, when 39 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 32 years the salaries add up to 71,880 kuruş, 45 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.
