Life#
Es-Seyyid Ali Riza Efendi was born in Istanbul in 1832/33 (AH 1248). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Kethuda.
Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1845/46 (AH 1262): Maliye Kalemi. The official was then about 14 years old. The record gives 6 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 50 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1853/54, the official was about 21 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1853/54, shows Rusumat Muhasebe Memuru in Istanbul, with 50 kuruş a month. In 1862/63 the record shows Rusumat Emanet Memuru in Istanbul, the salary going from 130 to 750 kuruş a month (before: Rusumat Muhasebe Memuru in Istanbul). In 1867/68 the record shows Rusumat Muhasebe Memuru in Konya, the salary going from 750 to 340 kuruş a month (before: Rusumat Emanet Memuru in Istanbul). In 1871/72 the record shows Mukayyit in Samsun, the salary going from 340 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Rusumat Muhasebe Memuru in Konya). No annual entry is recorded for 1866/67.
The highest salary, 800 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1878/79 as Mukayyit. 66 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 600 kuruş. Over 37 years with a salary the median is 505 kuruş a month, with 12 rises and 2 cuts. The largest rise, 620 kuruş, is seen in 1862/63. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 7.39 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1889/90, when 73 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
A death is recorded under 1890/91 (AH 1308): the year of the annual list that holds the status word Vefat, not a date of death.
