Annual salary study and register readings
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 Mehmet Besim Efendi began in Silistra (Silistre) in 1864/65 (AH 1281); the father's occupation was "Hattat". Work began in 1886/87, at about 22. The first annual entry, for 1886/87, names Mehmet Besim as Mülazım (mülazemet), with no place. The annual lists then follow Mehmet Besim to Alexandroupoli (Dedeağaç) from 1888 to 1892. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1893 give a second post, in Kırklareli as Düyun-ı Umumiye Müdüriyeti İkinci Katibi.
Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 350 in 1892/93, in Kırklareli, when 38 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, five years of salary come to 16,800 kuruş, 70 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1892/93.
