Mahmud Hamdi Efendi

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 father of Mahmud Hamdi Efendi was a clerk (katip). The first annual entry, for 1857/58 (AH 1274), names Mahmud Hamdi as Tapu kâtibi, with no place. Mahmud Hamdi then moved to six places in 28 years, from Mostar to Manisa. For 1860 to 1862, 1863 to 1865, 1868 to 1880, 1881 to 1885 and 1886 to 1890 the lists have no entry. The last post was in Balıkesir in 1890/91. Few officials served in as many places; fewer than 6 per cent of the 6,605 officials with a place of service did. No annual entry gives a salary. The last annual entry is for 1890/91.

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.
