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

Receb Rüşdü Efendi was born in Tetovo (Kalkandelen) in 1834/35 (AH 1250) into the İslam community; the father was a merchant (tüccar). Every annual entry from 1855/56 to 1893/94 places Receb Rüşdü in the same post, Fatih Camii'nde tahsil, in Istanbul. A career like this is rare; 14 of the 446 officials whose entries span 40 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

The one salary in the lists is 50 kuruş a month, for 1869/70, when 2 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1893/94.

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.
