Annual salary study and register readings

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

Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Münib Efendi began in Safranbolu in 1831/32 (AH 1247). Work began in 1870/71, at about 39, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. Fewer than 4 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known began work at 39 or older. The first annual entry, for 1870/71, names Mustafa Münib as Mekteb-i Sanayi emini, with no place.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 200 kuruş a month in 1870/71, when 15 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 21 years pay ended below where it began, 140 kuruş against 200. In all, 21 years of salary come to 40,080 kuruş, 38 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1889/90.

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.
