Life#
Born in Bosna in 1847/48 (AH 1264), Mustafa Rasit Efendi came from the Muslim (Müslüman) community. Few officials knew Bosnian; only 11 of the 5,211 officials did.
Mustafa Rasit began work in Chania (Hanya) in 1873/74, at about 25, on a first salary of 590 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1876/77, with Mustafa Rasit as Muallim in Chania. Mustafa Rasit then moved to Kozan and Korçë (Görice) from 1877 to 1882, with a rise to Niyabet in 1877/78, then Shkodër (İşkodra) from 1882 to 1891. The last post was in Bitola (Manastır) in 1891/92.
The salary went from 590 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to 2,930 in 1877/78, the peak, as Niyabet in Kozan, when 96 per cent of paid officials earned less. On average the pay stood in the top 9.7 per cent of each year's paid officials; fewer than 2 per cent of the 3,805 officials paid for five years or more stood as high. The list of 1892/93 (AH 1310) gives the status word Vefat (death). An entry in "Sicill-i Ahval Defterlerine göre Osmanlı bürokrasisinde Bosna doğumlu memurlar" by MEHMET AKGÜN (2017) probably refers to Mustafa Rasit, since the name and the birthplace agree. Mustafa Rasit probably has an entry in "II. Abdülhamid Dönemi Bosna-Hersekli devlet adamları" by DİLEK AKDEMİR (2018) (the name, the birthplace and the archive register and page agree).
