Life and register readings
Süleyman Senih Efendi was born in Bursa into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Muhassıl; bazı livâlarda mutasarrıf/kaymakam". The first annual entry, for 1842/43 (AH 1258), names Süleyman Senih in the mektubî odası, with no place. For 1843 to 1878 and 1880 to 1885 the lists have no entry. Few careers in the lists are as long; fewer than 3 per cent of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 46 years or more.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 6,000 kuruş a month in 1879/80, when 97 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1885/86.
Places in order of time#
