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 Ligori Baki Efendi began in Antalya in 1858/59 (AH 1275); the father's occupation was "Bakkal". Work began in Antalya in 1877/78, at about 18. The first annual entry, for 1877/78, places Ligori Baki in Antalya, the birthplace, as Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1880/81. Alongside, the lists for 1883/84 give a second post, in Elmalı as Duhan Tahrir Yoklama kâtibi. The annual lists then follow Ligori Baki to a post with no place named from 1886 to 1891. Alongside, the lists for 1890/91 give a second post, in Antalya as Düyun-ı Umumiye Müdürlüğü sandıkkârı.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 450 in 1883/84, in Elmalı, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 125 kuruş. In all, 13 years of salary come to 43,380 kuruş, 68 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. 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.
