Life and register readings

Topçuzade İsmail Hakkı Efendi was born in Glamoç in 1863/64 (AH 1280). At about 12, in 1875/76, Topçuzade İsmail Hakkı began work. Fewer than 3 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known began work at 12 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1875/76, names Topçuzade İsmail Hakkı as Mal Kalemi mülâzımı, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1878 to 1882. The last posts were in Novi Pazar (Yenipazar) from 1884 to 1890.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1877/78 to 300 in 1878, the peak, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, ten years of salary come to 34,800 kuruş, 70 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.

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.
