Musa Kazım Efendi

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 Musa Kazım Efendi began in Kırşehir in 1878/79 (AH 1296). The first annual entry, for 1899/1900, places Musa Kazım in Kırşehir, the birthplace, as Piyade Tahsildari. From 1901 to 1911 every annual entry places Musa Kazım again in Kırşehir. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1910/11.

The salary went from 125 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to 400 in 1901/02, the peak, in Kırşehir, when 43 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

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.
