Life and register readings
Mustafa Efendi was born in Bursa in 1888/89 (AH 1306) into the İslam community. Work began in Edirne in 1903/04, at about 15, on a first salary of 96 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1903/04, with Mustafa as sivil sicil emini in Edirne. The lists have no entry for 1904 to 1906. The last entries, from 1908 to 1910, name Mustafa as mahlulat kitâbeti, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1906/07 instead of a title.
The salary went from 96 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to 300 in 1909/10, the peak, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 6,312 kuruş, 37 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
