Life and register readings
İbrahim Rüşdü Efendi was born in Baghdad (Bağdat) in 1866/67 (AH 1283); the father was a merchant (tüccar). Work began in Baghdad in 1883/84, at about 17, on a first salary of 30 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1883/84 to 1899/1900 places İbrahim Rüşdü in the same post, Bağdat vilayeti muhasebe kalemi memuru, in Baghdad, the birthplace.
Pay rose from 30 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to a peak of 4,000 in 1895/96, in Baghdad, when 97 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 17 years the salaries add up to 279,960 kuruş, 3.4 times what an official on the median salary earned. The peak was 133.3 times the first salary, a rise matched by 39 of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.
