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 Osman Nuri Efendi began in Tirana (Tiran) in 1867/68 (AH 1284); the father's occupation was "Tiran Rüşdiye Mektebi muallim-i sânîsi". Work began in Cebeli bereket in 1885/86, at about 18, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1885/86, with Osman Nuri as Maa-Tahrir Vergi İdaresi deftercisi in Cebeli bereket, where the entries run to 1887/88. Next came a post with no place named from 1888 to 1893. From 1893 to 1902 the annual entries place Osman Nuri in Istanbul.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to 450 in 1896/97, the peak, in Istanbul, when half the paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.

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.
