Life and register readings

VEYSEL CEMĠL EFENDĠ was born in Antalya in 1862/63 (AH 1279); the father was a medrese teacher (müderris). At about 11, in 1873/74, VEYSEL CEMĠL EFENDĠ began work in Antalya, on a first salary of 120 kuruş. Few began so young; fewer than 2 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 11 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1873/74, places VEYSEL CEMĠL EFENDĠ in Antalya, the birthplace, as Rüsûmât müdüriyeti mukayyidi, where the entries run to 1887/88. The last entry, for 1889/90, names VEYSEL CEMĠL EFENDĠ as Tahrir ve vergi kâtibi, with no place.

The salary went from 120 kuruş a month in 1873/74 to 250 in 1889/90, the peak, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 17 years the salaries add up to 30,600 kuruş, 36 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.
