Life and register readings

The life of MEHMET SEMA İ EFEND İ began in Afyonkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Sahib). MEHMET SEMA İ İ began work in 1885/86 (AH 1303). From the first annual entry, for 1885/86, to 1909/10, every annual entry places MEHMET SEMA İ İ in the same post, Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı, in Afyonkarahisar, the birthplace.
