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

Nazmi Efendi was born in Tokat in 1873/74 (AH 1290). Work began in 1895/96, at about 22, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1895/96, names Nazmi as Manifesto Dairesi memuru, with no place. For 1896 to 1909 the lists have no entry.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to 600 in 1910/11, the peak, as Katip, when 53 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
