Raşid 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 life of Raşid Efendi began in Taşköprü in 1872/73 (AH 1289); the father's occupation was "Rençber". Raşid began work in 1893/94, at about 21, on a first salary of 120 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1893/94, names Raşid as Hazine-i Hümâyun hademesi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1911 to 1912.

Pay rose from 120 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to a peak of 600 in 1912/13, when one in four paid officials earned less. In all, 19 years of salary come to 40,920 kuruş, 38 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1912/13.

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.
