Life and register readings

MEHMED ES‟AD EFENDĠ was born in Antalya in 1872/73 (AH 1289); the father's occupation was "Antalya tüccar ve ziraat reisi; belediye azası; İdare-i Mahsusa vapurları acentesi". Work began in Antalya in 1887/88, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1887/88, places MEHMED ES‟AD EFENDĠ in Antalya, the birthplace, as Sancak muhasebe kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1897/98. For 1888 to 1892 the lists have no entry. The last entry, for 1898/99, names MEHMED ES‟AD EFENDĠ as Düyun-ı Umumiye idaresi memur vekili, with no place.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 200 kuruş a month in 1892/93, in Antalya, when 15 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 13,759.92 kuruş, 40 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1898/99.

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.
