Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Sabri Efendi began in Kırşehir in 1853/54 (AH 1270). The first salary was 65 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Mustafa Sabri as Aşar dairesi ikinci kâtibi (İnfisal) in Kırşehir, the birthplace. Mustafa Sabri then moved to a post with no place named from 1880 to 1887, then back to Kırşehir from 1887 to 1895. The lists have no entry for 1889 to 1892. The last entries, from 1896 to 1900, name Mustafa Sabri as Bidayet mahkemesi icra memuru, with no place.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 600 kuruş a month in 1883/84, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 360 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
