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 Muhittin Efendi began in Sivas in 1858/59 (AH 1275). Muhittin began work in Kocgiri in 1878, at about 19. The first annual entry, for 1878, places Muhittin in Kocgiri as tahrirat kalemi stajyeri, where the entries run to 1883/84. For 1879 to 1882 and 1884 to 1888 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1882/83 give a second post, in a post with no place named as ağnam kâtibi. From 1888 to 1898 the annual entries place Muhittin again in Kocgiri.

The salary went from 225 kuruş a month in 1878/79 to 500 in 1897/98, the peak, in Kocgiri, when 56 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.

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.
