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 Muhiddin Efendi began in Drama in 1859/60 (AH 1276); the father's occupation was "Zabtiye yüzbaşı". Work began in 1875/76, at about 16, on a first salary of 65 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1875/76, with Mehmed Muhiddin as Tahrirat odası memuru and no place named.

Pay rose from 65 kuruş a month in 1875/76 to a peak of 400 in 1887/88, when 43 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 14 years the salaries add up to 37,140 kuruş, 53 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1887/88.

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.
