Recovered annual record

A short account from recorded fields

Mahmut Efendi was born in Bagdat in AH 1258. Recorded schooling includes 4 years at Sibyan Mektebi. First work is recorded in Bagdat in AH 1274 (16 AH years after the recorded birth year), with “Telgraf” as first-job wording. The surviving career record covers 9 distinct AH years between 1279 and 1287; it begins with Muhabere Memuru in Bagdat (500 kuruş monthly). 2. Mudur appears later, in AH 1286 (1,000 kuruş monthly). Recorded language competency: Turkish: Kitabet (writing); Arabic: kitabet; Persian: tekellum. Later annual personnel extract marks a criminal-record indicator in AH 1279–1287; this is not a lifetime verdict.

Assigned salary in the annual career

Monthly kuruş · AH

Annual career record begins at AH 1279

Muhabere Memuru · bagdat · 500 kuruş monthly

First work is separately recorded at AH 1274 in Bagdat (Telgraf). The first-salary field is 500 kuruş; it is not a dated point on this curve.

AH 1274 · 1858 labelTelgrafBagdat

Monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash payments. Lines connect consecutive AH years only; hollow points mean salary not recorded. Competing entries in one AH year remain separate points, without a unique pay-change line. Gregorian values elsewhere are stored labels.

Compare all recorded title, place and salary changes

Each comparison uses the preceding surviving entry.

Salary 500 to 960 kuruş +460 (+92%)
Title Muhabere Memuru → 2. Mudur
Locality bagdat → hindiyye
Salary 960 to 1,000 kuruş +40 (+4.17%)
Locality hindiyye → kizilrebat

A title change is not automatically a promotion; a locality change is not a reconstructed journey.
