Life and register readings

Mahmud Necip Efendi was born in Sivas in 1870/71 (AH 1287). The personnel record dates the first work in Kastamonu to 1891/92, after the first annual entry, on a first salary of 130 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1876/77, with Mahmud Necip as rüsumat idaresi memuru and no place named. For 1877 to 1879 and 1880 to 1885 the lists have no entry. In 1886/87 the lists place Mahmud Necip in Kayseri.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to 400 in 1885/86, the peak, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1886/87.
