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 İbrahim Efendi began in Ürgüp in 1828/29 (AH 1244). İbrahim studied at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). Work began in 1870/71, at about 42, on a first salary of 550 kuruş. Fewer than 3 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known began work at 42 or older. The annual lists begin in 1870/71, with İbrahim as Aşar kâtibi and no place named. For 1871 to 1875 the lists have no entry.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 550 kuruş a month in 1870/71, when 63 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1875/76.

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.
