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

Receb Efendi was born in Bursa in 1869/70 (AH 1286) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Rençber". At about 19, in 1888/89, Receb began work. The first annual entry, for 1888/89, names Receb as Mulazemet, with no place.

The salary went from 190 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to 250 in 1898/99, the peak, when one in five paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 23,520 kuruş, 48 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1898/99.

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.
