Life and register readings
Mehmed Ragıb Efendi was born in Plovdiv (Filibe) in 1875/76 (AH 1292). At about 19, in 1894/95, Mehmed Ragıb began work in Plovdiv, on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Mehmed Ragıb as İslam Mektebi muallim-i evveli in Plovdiv, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1899/1900. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1911 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Hariciye Nezareti Mektubî Kalemi memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1908/09 give a second post, in Batumi as Batum başşehbender vekili.
The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to 2,000 in 1910/11, the peak, when 87 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 17 years of salary come to 250,800 kuruş, 2.8 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1911.
