Life and register readings

İlyas Efendi was born in Dagistan in 1852/53 (AH 1269), into the İslam community. Work began in Bursa in 1890/91, at about 38, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 4 per cent started at 38 or older. From the first annual entry, for 1890/91, to 1900/01, every annual entry places İlyas in the same post, Yıldırım Bayezid Han Camii dersiamı, in Bursa.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 480 in 1900/01, in Bursa, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1900/01.
