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 Mehmed Hilmi Efendi began in Gelibolu. Work began in 1899/1900 (AH 1317). The first annual entry, for 1899/1900, names Mehmed Hilmi as a candidate official (Mülazım), with no place. From 1900 to 1908 the annual entries place Mehmed Hilmi in Gelibolu, the birthplace.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to 1,100 in 1905/06, the peak, in Gelibolu, when 84 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 300 kuruş. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.

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.
