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

Mehmed Efendi was born in Gaziantep (Antep) in 1869/70 (AH 1286). Work began in Istanbul in 1887/88, at about 18, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1887/88 to 1900/01 places Mehmed in the same post, Mekteb-i İdadi-i Mülki mübaşiri, in Istanbul.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to 420 in 1900/01, the peak, in Istanbul, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.

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.
