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

Born in Bursa in 1871/72 (AH 1288), Talat Efendi came from the İslam community. Work began in 1889/90, at about 18. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, names Talat as tatbik odası; mülâzemet, with no place.

The salary went from 15 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to 300 in 1892/93, the peak, when 27 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 35 kuruş. Over 18 years the salaries add up to 27,900 kuruş, 31 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
