Life and register readings

Born in Erzincan, İsmail Hakkı Efendi came from the İslam community. İsmail Hakkı began work in Erzincan in 1878/79 (AH 1296), on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1878/79, with İsmail Hakkı as Aşar kol muharriri in Erzincan, the birthplace. Next came Kurucay in 1879/80. The last entry, for 1880/81, names İsmail Hakkı as Bidayet mahkemesi müstantik muavini, with no place.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1878/79 to 300 in 1880/81, the peak, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 9,480 kuruş, 65 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1880/81.
