Life and register readings

Born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1866/67 (AH 1283), MUHAMMET BAHATTİN EFENDİ was the child of a medrese teacher (müderris). At about 17, in 1883/84, MUHAMMET BAHATTİN began work, on a first salary of 50 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with MUHAMMET BAHATTİN as tahrirat kalemi memuru and no place named. The lists give Infisal for 1890/91 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to a peak of 1,400 in 1891/92, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1891/92.

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.
