Life and register readings

SEYİT HIDIR FAHRİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1868/69 (AH 1285). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). HIDIR FAHRİ began work in 1884/85, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1884/85, names HIDIR FAHRİ as mülazım (stajyer), with no place. For 1885 to 1888 the lists have no entry. Next came Baghdad (Bağdat), Mandali (Mendeli), Mosul (Musul) and Basra, four places in 18 years. The lists have no entry for 1894 to 1896, 1897 to 1900 and 1906 to 1908. The last entry, for 1908/09, names HIDIR FAHRİ as bidayet mahkemesi müddei-i umumi muavini, with no place.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 1,440 in 1908/09, when 84 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 13 years the salaries add up to 105,480 kuruş, 1.7 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
