Life and register readings

Born in Erzincan, Mustafa Hilmi Efendi came from the İslam community. Work began in 1871/72 (AH 1288), on a first salary of 235 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1871/72, names Mustafa Hilmi as Tahrirat kalemi senedat ve ilamat kâtip vekili, with no place. For 1878 to 1884 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1877/78, the lists also place Mustafa Hilmi in Nazareth (Nasıra) as memur (unspecified). Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1891 give a second post, in Tripoli as Rüsumat müdüriyeti anbar memuru. The lists give Infisal for 1884/85 and 1890/91 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 235 kuruş a month in 1871/72 to a peak of 400 in 1884/85, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 250 kuruş. Over 14 years the salaries add up to 43,860 kuruş, 62 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1890/91.

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.
