Life and register readings
The life of MUSTAFA SEVFAT EFENDİ began in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1850/51 (AH 1267); the father's occupation was "Asakir-i Şahane binbaşısı". MUSTAFA SEVFAT studied at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).
At about 18, in 1869/70, MUSTAFA SEVFAT began work in Baghdad (Bağdat). From 1869/70 to 1889/90 every annual entry places MUSTAFA SEVFAT in Baghdad, first as mülazım (meclis-i kebir kalemi), from 1889/90 as Mektubi Kalemi Mumeyyizi. Fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.
Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1869/70 to a peak of 1,200 in 1889/90, as Mektubi Kalemi Mumeyyizi in Baghdad, when 84 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 21 years the salaries add up to 137,136 kuruş, 1.3 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.
