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

İstefenaki Muzurus was born in Pazar (Atina) in 1840/41 (AH 1256); the father's occupation was "Londra sefiri". Work began in 1860/61, at about 20. The annual lists begin in 1860/61, with İstefenaki Muzurus as Londra Sefareti ikinci kâtibi and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1881 to 1884. In place of a title the lists give Mazuliyet for 1887/88.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 10,000 kuruş a month in 1884/85, when 98 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 480,000 kuruş, 25 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1887/88.

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.
