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

Life and register readings

Born in Dagistan in 1856/57 (AH 1273), Mehmet İzzet Efendi was the child of a head of a sub-district (nahiye müdürü). Work began in 1876/77, at about 19. The annual lists begin in 1876/77, with Mehmet İzzet as Maliye Nezareti Bank Mazbata Odası mülazımı and no place named. At the same time, from 1892 to 1897, the lists also place Mehmet İzzet in Istanbul as Senedat-ı Kayıt Kalemi memuru.

The salary went from 40 kuruş a month in 1877/78 to 428 in 1896/97, the peak, in Istanbul, when half the paid officials earned less. Over 21 years the salaries add up to 82,536 kuruş, 80 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
