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 Osman Fevzi Efendi began in Akpalanga in 1863/64 (AH 1280). Osman Fevzi began work in Skopje (Üsküp) in 1883/84, at about 20, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1883/84, places Osman Fevzi in Skopje as Üsküp Rüştiye Mektebi üçüncü muallimi, where the entries run to 1888/89. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1904 give a second post, in Štip as İştip İbtidai Mektebi muallimi. Alongside, the lists for 1903/04 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Küreler nahiyesi müdürü.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to a peak of 500 in 1903/04, when 53 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 21 years of salary come to 72,000 kuruş, 70 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1903/04.

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.
