Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Rauf Efendi began in Baghdad (Bağdat) in 1873/74 (AH 1290). Mehmed Rauf began work in Baghdad in 1887/88, at about 15, on a first salary of 80 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1887/88 to 1890/91 places Mehmed Rauf in Baghdad, the birthplace, first as Tahrirat Kalemi Mumeyyizi, from 1890/91 as Arazi-i Seniyye Komisyonu ikinci kâtibi. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1891/92 instead of a title.
The salary went from 80 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to 250 in 1890/91, the peak, in Baghdad, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 6,120 kuruş, 31 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1891/92.
