This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Rıdvanbeyzâde Süleyman Bey began in Hersek in 1851/52 (AH 1268). Work began in Gevgelija (Gevgili) in 1890/91, at about 39. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 4 per cent started at 39 or older. The first annual entry, for 1890/91, places Rıdvanbeyzâde Süleyman in Gevgelija as Ağnam memuru. The annual lists then follow Rıdvanbeyzâde Süleyman to a post with no place named from 1891 to 1904, with a rise to Nahiye Muduru in 1892/93. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1907 give a second post, in Tokat as Nahiye Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1906 to 1910 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nahiye Muduru.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to a peak of 480 in 1898/99, as Nahiye Muduru, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
