This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

Mustafa Efendi was born in Bursa in 1879/80 (AH 1297), into the İslam community. At about 24, in 1904/05, Mustafa began work. The annual lists begin in 1904/05, with Mustafa as Hüdâvendigâr vilâyeti umur-ı ecnebiye müdiriyeti kalemi; mülâzemetle and no place named. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1907/08.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 320 kuruş a month in 1906/07, when 36 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
