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 Süleyman Safi Efendi began in Çemişgezek in 1862/63 (AH 1279). At about 29, in 1891/92, Süleyman Safi began work. The first annual entry, for 1891/92, names Süleyman Safi as Nüfus kalemi mülazımı, with no place. The last posts were in Pah from 1892 to 1895.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 250 kuruş a month in 1892/93, in Pah, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 9,000 kuruş, 62 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.

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.
