Life and register readings

Mustafa Mümtaz Bey was born in Bursa in 1832/33 (AH 1248), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Sadr-ı esbak Derviş Paşa kethüdâsı hâcegândan". The first annual entry, for 1879/80, names Mustafa Mümtaz as me’muriyeti sâbıkası olan müdiriyetine, with no place. For 1882 to 1896 and 1897 to 1900 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Tekaud for 1902/03.

The salary went from 2,400 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 2,500 in 1900/01, the peak, when 95 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 105,528 kuruş, 5.3 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1902/03.

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.
