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 Edhem Efendi began in Pristina (Priştine) in 1866/67 (AH 1283). At about 16, in 1882/83, İbrahim Edhem began work. The first annual entry, for 1882/83, names İbrahim Edhem as Kosova Vilayeti Mektupçu Kalemi stajyeri, with no place. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1883/84.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 220 kuruş a month in 1882/83, when 16 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, nine years of salary come to 15,960 kuruş, 36 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1890/91.

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.
