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 Mustafa İbrahim Rasim Bey began in Istanbul in 1859/60 (AH 1276); the father's occupation was "Emekli asker". Mustafa İbrahim Rasim began work in 1873/74, at about 14, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1873/74, names Mustafa İbrahim Rasim as Hassa Ordu-yı Hümayun Merkez Hastanesi üçüncü kâtibi, with no place. For 1877 to 1879 and 1890 to 1892 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1879/80.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1873/74 to a peak of 3,000 in 1892/93, when 96 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 16 years the salaries add up to 245,280 kuruş, 3.1 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1897/98.

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.
