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 İsmail Efendi began in Bigadiç in 1849/50 (AH 1266). Work began in 1865/66, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1865/66, with İsmail as Karesi Sancağı tahrirat kalemi mülazımı and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1880 to 1884 give a second post, in Afyonkarahisar as Karahisar-ı Sahib Bidayet Mahkemesi müddeiumumi muavini. Next came Kütahya from 1884 to 1888. At the same time, from 1887 to 1889, the lists also place İsmail in Ankara as Ankara Vilayeti Bidayet Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi reisi.

Pay rose from 166 kuruş a month in 1866/67 to a peak of 1,400 in 1878/79, when 83 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 24 years the salaries add up to 249,576 kuruş, 2.1 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1888/89.

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.
