Life and register readings

Born in Bursa in 1876/77 (AH 1293), Mahmud Celaleddin Efendi came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Asâkir-i şâhâne binbaşısı". Work began in Bursa in 1892/93, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1892/93, with Mahmud Celaleddin as Mulazemet in Bursa, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1896/97. The lists have no entry for 1893 to 1896 and 1897 to 1899. The last entries, from 1899 to 1911, name Mahmud Celaleddin as Mıhalıç kalem-i mezkûr mukayyidliği, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1909/10 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to a peak of 250 in 1911, when 8 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 13 years of salary come to 26,400 kuruş, 37 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1911.
