Life and register readings
Born in Antalya into the İslam community, Yusuf Talat Efendi was the child of a medrese teacher (müderris). Work began in Antalya in 1880/81 (AH 1298). From the first annual entry, for 1880/81, to 1901/02, every annual entry places Yusuf Talat in the same post, Mehmet Paşa Camii dersiâmlığı, in Antalya, the birthplace. A career like this is rare; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 169 kuruş a month in 1893/94, in Antalya, when 12 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 10,140 kuruş, 42 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.
Career and salary#
