Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Nuri Efendi began in Gaziantep (Antep) in 1865/66 (AH 1282); the father's occupation was "Ayıntab Ziraat Bankası mahallî kâtibi". Mustafa Nuri began work in Aleppo (Halep) in 1882/83, at about 17. The annual lists begin in 1882/83, with Mustafa Nuri as Halep İstinaf Mahkemesi kalemi mülazımı in Aleppo. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1885 give a second post, in İskenderun as İskenderun Bidayet Mahkemesi başkâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1887 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Bab Bidayet Mahkemesi müstantık muavini. The lists have no entry for 1887 to 1890. Next came Rumkale from 1890 to 1892. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1909 give a second post, in Aleppo as Halep Merkez Bidayet Mahkemesi Hukuk Dairesi zabıt kâtibi. For 1898 to 1908 the lists have no entry.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to 1,080 in 1908/09, the peak, in Aleppo, when 78 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
