Life and register readings

Mustafa Rasim Efendi was born in Hersek in 1876/77 (AH 1293); the father's occupation was "Terzi". Work began in 1891/92, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1891/92, names Mustafa Rasim as Tahrirat kalemi mülazımı, with no place.

The salary went from 130 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to 200 in 1899/1900, the peak, when 15 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 5,520 kuruş, 38 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
