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

Life and register readings

Mehmet Müştak Efendi was born in Sivas. Work began in 1876/77 (AH 1293). The annual lists begin in 1876/77, with Mehmet Müştak as stajyer and no place named. The last posts were in Pınarbaşı (Aziziye) from 1879 to 1882 and Divriği in 1887/88. For 1884 to 1887 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1883/84.

The salary went from 20 kuruş a month in 1878 to 750 in 1883/84, the peak, when 76 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 1887/88.

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.
