Life and register readings

Mustafa Necib Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1860/61 (AH 1277). Work began in Shkodër in 1875/76, at about 15. From the first annual entry, for 1875/76, to 1898/99, every annual entry places Mustafa Necib in the same post, İşkodra Vilayeti Mektubçu Kalemi mülazımı, in Shkodër, 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.

Pay rose from 75 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 470 in 1898/99, in Shkodër, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 16 years of salary come to 54,012 kuruş, 69 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.
