Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Talat Efendi began in Malatya in 1868/69 (AH 1285). At about 16, in 1883/84, İbrahim Talat began work. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with İbrahim Talat as Muhasebe Kalemi stajyeri in Malatya, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1885/86. The lists have no entry for 1886 to 1889. Alongside, the lists for 1885/86 give a second post, in Akçadağ as Nüfus kâtibi. The annual lists then follow İbrahim Talat to Malatya, Akçadağ and Kâhta from 1889 to 1893. Alongside, the lists for 1892 to 1904 give a second post, in Malatya as Ziraat Bankası Şube kâtibi. For 1895 to 1901 the lists have no entry. The lists give Infisal for 1892/93 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 125 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to a peak of 400 in 1890/91, in Akçadağ, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 17,700 kuruş, 46 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1903/04.

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.
