Life and register readings

MUHAMMET EMİN EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1861/62 (AH 1278); the father was a merchant (tüccar). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

At about 22, in 1883/84, MUHAMMET EMİN began work. The first annual entry, for 1883/84, places MUHAMMET EMİN in Mosul (Musul) as mülazım (muhasebe kalemi). For 1884 to 1886 the lists have no entry. The last entries, from 1886 to 1889, name MUHAMMET EMİN as masalih-i cariye refakati kâtibi, with no place.

The salary went from 125 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to 145 in 1888/89, the peak, when one in ten paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 4,740 kuruş, 32 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1888/89.
