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

The life of İbrahim Asım Efendi began in Harput in 1860/61 (AH 1277). Work began in 1881/82, at about 21. The first annual entry, for 1881/82, names İbrahim Asım as Gönüllü asker, with no place, with a rise to Mal Muduru Muavini in 1903/04. For 1882 to 1886 the lists have no entry.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 500 in 1903/04, as Mal Muduru Muavini, when 53 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 18 years of salary come to 58,080 kuruş, 66 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1903/04.

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.
