Life and register readings

MUSTAFA HAMDĠ EFENDĠ was born in Antalya, Cami-i Atik Mahallesi in 1876/77 (AH 1293). Work began in 1886/87, at about 11. Few began so young; fewer than 2 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 11 or younger. The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with MUSTAFA HAMDĠ EFENDĠ as Teke meclis-i idare kalemi mülazımı and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1889 to 1891. From 1909 to 1911 the annual entries place MUSTAFA HAMDĠ EFENDĠ in Antalya.

Pay rose from 57 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 700 in 1909/10, in Antalya, when 56 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 20 years the salaries add up to 81,852 kuruş, 81 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
