Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Nizami Efendi began in Malatya in 1871/72 (AH 1288). İbrahim Nizami began work in Malatya in 1886/87, at about 16, on a first salary of 50 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1886/87, places İbrahim Nizami in Malatya, the birthplace, as Tahrirat Kalemi Evrak Mukayyidi, where the entries run to 1889/90. Alongside, the lists for 1889 to 1894 give a second post, in Kâhta as Tahrirat Kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1893 to 1905 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tahrirat Kâtibi vekili, with a rise to Mal Muduru Muavini in 1898/99. Alongside, the lists for 1904 to 1906 give a second post, in Akçadağ as Mal Muduru, with a rise to Mal Muduru. The last post was in Kâhta again in 1909/10.

The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to 800 in 1909/10, the peak, as Mal Muduru in Kâhta, when 61 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
