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 Halil Efendi began in Dagistan in 1861/62 (AH 1278). İbrahim Halil studied at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 18, in 1879/80, İbrahim Halil began work in Trabzon, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with İbrahim Halil as a registry clerk (Mukayyit) and no place named, with a rise to Mubassir in 1881/82 and to İkinci kâtip in 1884/85.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 300 in 1884/85, the peak, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 16,800 kuruş, 58 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1884/85.
