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

Naum Efendi was born in Aleppo (Halep) in 1862/63 (AH 1279) into the Katolik community; the father was a merchant (tüccar). At about 18, in 1880/81, Naum began work in Aleppo, on a first salary of 220 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1880/81, places Naum in Aleppo, the birthplace, as Halep Bidayet Mahkemesi Kalemi memuru. Next came Harem (Harim) from 1881 to 1884. From 1885 to 1903 the annual entries place Naum again in Aleppo. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1883/84 instead of a title.

The salary went from 220 kuruş a month in 1880/81 to 600 in 1899/1900, the peak, in Aleppo, when two in three paid officials earned less. In all, 22 years of salary come to 106,740 kuruş, about what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.

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.
