Life and register readings

Yorgaki İstilyadi Efendi was born in Bursa in 1855/56 (AH 1272) into the Hristiyan community; the father's occupation was "Değirmenci". Work began in 1873/74, at about 17. The first annual entry, for 1873/74, names Yorgaki İstilyadi as mektubi kalemi; mülazemetle, with no place, with a rise to Bidayet Mahkemesi Riyaseti in 1892/93. The lists have no entry for 1874 to 1884 and 1885 to 1891. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1892/93 and Azil (dismissal) for 1895/96.

The salary went from 360 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to 1,200 in 1892/93, the peak, as Bidayet Mahkemesi Riyaseti, when 85 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, five years of salary come to 61,920 kuruş, 2.6 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1895/96.
