Life and register readings
Rıdvan Bey was born in 1844/45 (AH 1260). At about 24, in 1868/69, Rıdvan began work, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1868/69, names Rıdvan as Bidayet Mahkemesi azası, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1884 give a second post, in Rhodes as Müddeiumumi muavini. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1887 give a second post, in Edirne as Vilayet merkez müddeiumumi muavini. Alongside, the lists for 1886/87 give a second post, in Didymoteicho as Müddeiumumi muavini. Alongside, the lists for 1886 to 1888 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Savcı yardımcısı. Alongside, the lists for 1887/88 give a second post, in Uzunköprü as Bidayet Mahkemesi reisi. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1878; Vefat (death) for 1888/89 and 1941/42. Few careers in the lists are as long; 4 of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 76 years or more.
Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1868/69 to a peak of 2,150 in 1875/76, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 2,000 kuruş. In all, 17 years of salary come to 271,200 kuruş, 3.2 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1941/42.
