Life and register readings

Born in Antalya in 1877/78 (AH 1294), Mahmud Celaleddin Bey was the child of a merchant (tüccar). Mahmud Celaleddin began work in Istanbul in 1896/97, at about 19. Every annual entry from 1896/97 to 1901/02 places Mahmud Celaleddin in the same post, Bidayet Mahkemesi Birinci Hukuk Dairesi mülazımı, in Istanbul.

The salary went from 20 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to 2,000 in 1901/02, the peak, in Istanbul, when 92 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 59,040 kuruş, 2.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last 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.
