Life and register readings

Mustafa Nazif Efendi was born in 1863/64 (AH 1280); the father was a customs official (rüsumat memuru). Work began in 1884/85, at about 21, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1884/85, with Mustafa Nazif as Aşar memuriyeti 2. kâtibi and no place named. The last posts were in Izmir (İzmir) in 1886/87 and Edirne in 1893/94. For 1889 to 1893 the lists have no entry.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to 400 in 1893/94, the peak, in Edirne, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1893/94.

Places in order of time
