Mustafa Behçet Efendi

Annual salary study and register readings

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 Behçet Efendi began in Silistra (Silistre) in 1860/61 (AH 1277). The first annual entry, for 1886/87, names Mustafa Behçet as Düyun-ı Umumiye memuriyeti kâtibi, with no place. From 1891 to 1897 the annual entries place Mustafa Behçet in Bandırma.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 700 in 1896/97, in Bandırma, when 71 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
