Life and register readings

Born in Antalya in 1859/60 (AH 1276), Mustafa Nuri Efendi was the child of a tradesman (esnaf). At about 16, in 1875/76, Mustafa Nuri began work in Antalya. The annual lists begin in 1875/76, with Mustafa Nuri as Tahrirat Kalemi mülâzımı in Antalya, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1880/81. Alongside, the lists for 1880 to 1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Vukuat kâtibi refiki. Alongside, the lists for 1886 to 1888 give a second post, in Antalya as Düyûn-ı Umûmiye İdaresi mülâzımı.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to a peak of 500 in 1894/95, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 25 years the salaries add up to 93,000 kuruş, 76 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
