Life and register readings

The life of İsmail Hakkı Bey began in Harput in 1838/39 (AH 1254). İsmail Hakkı began work in 1859/60, at about 21. The first annual entry, for 1859/60, names İsmail Hakkı as Şer‘i niyabet, with no place. For 1862 to 1867 the lists have no entry. Next came Eğirdir and Yalvaç from 1867 to 1874. Alongside, the lists for 1875 to 1877 give a second post, in Düzce as a district governor (Kaymakam). Alongside, the lists for 1876/77 give a second post, in Gaza as Kaymakam vekili. Alongside, the lists for 1876/77 give a second post, in Düzce as Kaymakam (İstifa). The annual lists then follow İsmail Hakkı to four places in 20 years. The last posts were in Istanbul from 1897 to 1902. Nine places on two continents in all, a number reached by fewer than 3 per cent of the 6,605 officials with a place of service. Few careers in the lists are as long; fewer than 4 per cent of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 44 years or more.

The salary went from 1,250 kuruş a month in 1867/68 to 2,500 in 1894/95, the peak, as Kaymakam, when 95 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 26 years the salaries add up to 437,220 kuruş, 3.3 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.

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.
