Mehmed Emin 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 Mehmed Emin Efendi began in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka). The first salary was 120 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1897/98 (AH 1315), with Mehmed Emin as Genç Sancağı Muhasebe Başkâtibi muavini in Genç. The last post was in Enez (İnoz) in 1900/01. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1898/99 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 230 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to a peak of 300 in 1900/01, in Enez, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 9,120 kuruş, 63 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.

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.
