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 Mollazade Naim Efendi began in Bandırma in 1864/65 (AH 1281). Mollazade Naim studied at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 13, in 1877/78, Mollazade Naim began work in Bandırma. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 5 per cent started at 13 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1877/78, places Mollazade Naim in Bandırma, the birthplace, as Tahrir ve Vergi Kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1883/84. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1904 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Vergi kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1887/88 give a second post, in Gönen as Vergi kâtibi. The last posts were in Balat in 1893/94 and Bandırma again from 1904 to 1906.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to 350 in 1904/05, the peak, in Bandırma, when 37 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 20 years of salary come to 70,200 kuruş, 72 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.

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.
