Life and register readings

Mustafa Nuri Efendi was born in Kaçanik in 1852/53 (AH 1269). At about 40, in 1892/93, Mustafa Nuri began work, on a first salary of 180 kuruş. Fewer than 3 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known began work at 40 or older. The first annual entry, for 1892/93, names Mustafa Nuri as Tahrirat kâtibi, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1893 to 1908 give a second post, in Botevgrad as Nüfus kâtibi.

The salary went from 180 kuruş a month in 1892/93 to 250 in 1907/08, the peak, in Botevgrad, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 16 years the salaries add up to 26,820 kuruş, 33 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final 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.
