Life and register readings

Mustafa RaĢid Efendi was born in Bosna in 1847/48 (AH 1264). At about 25, in 1873/74, Mustafa RaĢid began work in Chania (Hanya), on a first salary of 590 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1873/74, with Mustafa RaĢid as Rüşdiye muallimi in Chania, where the entries run to 1877/78. Alongside, the lists for 1877 to 1879 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Sancak naibi. The annual lists then follow Mustafa RaĢid to Korçë (Görice) from 1879 to 1883. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1892 give a second post, in Shkodër as Bidayet Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi Reisi. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1893 give a second post, in Bitola as Bidayet Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi Reisi.

The salary went from 590 kuruş a month in 1873/74 to 2,930 in 1877/78, the peak, when 94 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 20 years of salary come to 384,240 kuruş, 3.9 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years, a level reached by fewer than 8 per cent of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more. The final annual entry is for 1892/93.

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.
