Life and register readings
Mehmed Fehim Efendi was born in Gelibolu in 1849/50 (AH 1266); the father's occupation was "Sandık Emini". Every annual entry from 1866/67 to 1907/08 places Mehmed Fehim in the same post, Muhasebe Kalemi memuru, in Gelibolu, the birthplace. Only 14 of the 446 officials whose entries span 40 years or more stayed in one place throughout. Few careers in the lists are as long; fewer than 4 per cent of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 43 years or more.
Pay rose from 41.5 kuruş a month in 1866/67 to a peak of 600 in 1907/08, in Gelibolu, when 61 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 13,062 kuruş, 36 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.
