Life and register readings

Born in Bursa'da Hasköy kasabası in 1880/81 (AH 1298) into the İslam community, İbrahim Hakkı Efendi was the child of a tradesman (esnaf). At about 16, in 1897/98, İbrahim Hakkı began work. The first annual entry, for 1897/98, names İbrahim Hakkı as Bursa Defter-i Hâkanî kalemi; mülâzemeten, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1905 give a second post, in Bursa as mezkûr tapu kâtibi refâkatinde. Alongside, the lists for 1904/05 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Bursa Defter-i Hâkanî kalemi ikinci kitâbeti.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to a peak of 250 in 1904/05, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 19,800 kuruş, 51 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1904/05.
