Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Necmeddin Efendi began in Malatya in 1875/76 (AH 1292). Work began in Malatya in 1892/93, at about 17, on a first salary of 15 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1892/93, places İbrahim Necmeddin in Malatya, the birthplace, as Tahrirat Kalemi Mübeyyiz-i Rabii. At the same time, from 1899 to 1902, the lists also place İbrahim Necmeddin in Istanbul as Memurin Kalemi stajyeri. Alongside, the lists for 1901 to 1904 give a second post, in Al Hudaydah as Tahrirat Müdürü. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1906 give a second post, in Abu Arish as a district governor (Kaymakam). Alongside, the lists for 1905 to 1908 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaymakam vekili. Alongside, the lists for 1906 to 1908 give a second post, in Al Hudaydah as Mutasarrıf vekili. Al Hudaydah, about 2,650 km from Malatya, was the post farthest from the birthplace; only 48 of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from home.

Pay rose from 15 kuruş a month in 1892/93 to a peak of 2,500 in 1903/04, as Kaymakam in Abu Arish, when 95 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak was 166.7 times the first salary, a rise matched by 31 of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.
