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 Mehmet Nafiz Efendi began in Kütahya in 1887/88 (AH 1305). From the first annual entry, for 1907/08, to 1909/10, every annual entry places Mehmet Nafiz in the same post, Ziraat Bankası sandığı ikinci refiki, in Uşak.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 250 kuruş a month in 1907/08, in Uşak, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 9,000 kuruş, 51 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
