Life and register readings

Mahmud Hamdi Efendi was born in Doğubayazıt (Bayezid) in 1837/38 (AH 1253). The schooling was at Medrese, the Islamic college. Mahmud Hamdi began work in Doğubayazıt in 1869/70, at about 32. From the first annual entry, for 1869/70, to 1888/89, every annual entry places Mahmud Hamdi in the same post, Bayezid Rüştiyesi muallim-i sanisi, in Doğubayazıt, the birthplace. A career like this is rare; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

The one salary in the lists is 270 kuruş a month, for 1888/89, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1888/89.
