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

Mehmed Salih Efendi was born in Uşak in 1885/86 (AH 1303), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Uşak Ayntâbî Medresesi müderrisi". The personnel record dates the first work in Uşak to 1911/12, after the first annual entry. The annual lists begin in 1908/09, with Mehmed Salih as Süleymaniye Darülhadis Tıp Medresesi kaydı in Istanbul. The lists have no entry for 1909 to 1911. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Salih to Uşak in 1918/19. For 1914 to 1918 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1918/19 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Genel Tarih, İslam ve Osmanlı Tarihi müderrisi.

The salary went from 73 kuruş a month in 1913/14 to 800 in 1918/19, the peak, when half the paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1918/19.
