Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Asım Efendi began in Tosya in 1860/61 (AH 1277). The annual lists begin in 1878/79, with Mustafa Asım as Tahrirat Kalemi memuru in Tosya, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1881/82. At the same time, from 1881 to 1886, the lists also place Mustafa Asım in Kastamonu as Tahrirat Kalemi stajyeri. Alongside, the lists for 1885 to 1888 give a second post, in İskilip as Mal Muduru, with a rise to Mal Muduru.

Pay rose from 225 kuruş a month in 1878/79 to a peak of 600 in 1887/88, as Mal Muduru in İskilip, when 64 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1887/88.

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.
