İdris Enis Efendi

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 İdris Enis Efendi began in Silistra (Silistre); the father's occupation was "Asakir-i Şahane kaymakamı (askerî)". İdris Enis began work in 1870/71 (AH 1287), on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1870/71, with İdris Enis as Katip and no place named. İdris Enis then moved to Shkodër (İşkodra) from 1876 to 1878. The lists have no entry for 1879 to 1891. The last posts were in Istanbul from 1891 to 1897.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1870/71 to 2,000 in 1878/79, the peak, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 15 years of salary come to 249,648 kuruş, 3.3 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.
