Life and register readings
Mehmed Enver Efendi was born in Gaziantep (Antep) in 1876/77 (AH 1293); the father's occupation was "İdlib Kazası nüfus memuru". At about 16, in 1892/93, Mehmed Enver began work in Idlib (İdlib), on a first salary of 1,310 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1892/93, with Mehmed Enver as Belediye kâtibi in Idlib, where the entries run to 1897/98. For 1898 to 1900 the lists have no entry. The last entry, for 1900/01, names Mehmed Enver as Nüfus kâtibi, with no place.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 1,310 kuruş a month in 1892/93, in Idlib, when 87 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, seven years of salary come to 95,820 kuruş, 2.8 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.
