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 Alişar Köyü, Karahisar-ı Şarki, Mehmet Şakir Efendi was the child of a medrese teacher (müderris). The annual lists begin in 1902/03 (AH 1320), with Mehmet Şakir as Müderris and no place named. For 1903 to 1910 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Mazuliyet for 1910/11.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 150 kuruş a month in 1902/03, when 8 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1911/12.

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.
