Life and register readings
Mehmed Faik Efendi was born in Erzurum in 1846/47 (AH 1263), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Bakkal". At about 30, in 1877/78, Mehmed Faik began work in Istanbul. The first annual entry, for 1877/78, places Mehmed Faik in Istanbul as Selâtîn camileri cuma vaizi. The last entries, from 1878 to 1907, name Mehmed Faik as Dersiâm, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1896 to 1899. For 1904 to 1906 the lists have no entry.
The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to 1,500 in 1899/1900, the peak, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.
