Life and register readings

Born in Malatya in 1863/64 (AH 1280), Mehmed Emin Efendi came from the İslam community. At about 19, in 1882/83, Mehmed Emin began work. The first annual entry, for 1882/83, places Mehmed Emin in Malatya, the birthplace, as Tahrirat Kalemi stajyeri. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Emin to Istanbul from 1884 to 1887. Alongside, the lists for 1886 to 1890 give a second post, in Malatya as Evkaf Muhasebe Müdürü. Alongside, the lists for 1889 to 1892 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaymakam vekili. Alongside, the lists for 1890/91 give a second post, in Osmaniye as Kaymakam vekili. Next came Saimbeyli in 1891/92. Alongside, the lists for 1891/92 give a second post, in Malatya as Evkaf Müdür vekili. Mehmed Emin then moved to Ovacık in 1893/94. The last entry, for 1904/05, names Mehmed Emin as Evkaf Müdürü, with no place.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 1,250 in 1890/91, when 85 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1904/05.
