This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Raşid Efendi began in Bosna. The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). Mustafa Raşid had a first salary of 590 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1882/83 (AH 1300), places Mustafa Raşid in Shkodër (İşkodra) as Bidâyet mahkemesi ceza dairesi memuru, where the entries run to 1891/92. Alongside, the lists for 1891/92 give a second post, in Bitola as Bidâyet mahkemesi ceza dairesi memuru. The lists give Vefat (death) for 1892/93 instead of a title.

The salary went from 1,400 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 2,000 in 1886/87, the peak, in Shkodër, when 92 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, ten years of salary come to 211,200 kuruş, 4.4 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. On average the pay stood in the top 9 per cent of each year's paid officials; fewer than 3 per cent of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more stood as high. The final annual entry is for 1892/93.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
