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

Mehmet ġakir Efendi was born in Kars. Work began in 1884/85 (AH 1302). The first annual entry, for 1884/85, names Mehmet ġakir as Mülazım (stajyer), with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1891/92 instead of a title.

The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to 150 in 1895/96, the peak, when one in ten paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 9,600 kuruş, 20 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1895/96.

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.
