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

The life of Mehmed Nuri Efendi began in Burdur in 1865/66 (AH 1282). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). Mehmed Nuri began work in Burdur in 1883/84, at about 18. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with Mehmed Nuri as Muhasebe Kalemi stajyeri in Burdur, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1888/89. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Mal müdürü refakati.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 200 kuruş a month in 1888/89, when 15 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years pay ended where it began, at 200 kuruş. In all, ten years of salary come to 24,000 kuruş, 49 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
