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 Tayyib Efendi began in Taşköprü in 1838/39 (AH 1254); the father's occupation was "Taşköprü Kaza İdare Meclisi azası". At about 29, in 1867/68, Mehmed Tayyib began work in Kos (İstanköy), on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1867/68, places Mehmed Tayyib in Kos as Rüşdiye mektebi muallimi. For 1868 to 1878 the lists have no entry. Next came a return to Taşköprü, the birthplace, from 1884 to 1888. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1884. Alongside, the lists for 1887/88 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Görevin sona ermesi.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 500 kuruş a month in 1867/68, in Kos, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1887/88.

Places in order of time
