Life and register readings

İsa Ruhi Efendi was born in Dagistan in 1855/56 (AH 1272). At about 20, in 1876/77, İsa Ruhi began work, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1876/77, names İsa Ruhi as Nizamiye Ruznamçe Kalemi mülazımı, with no place. For 1880 to 1883 the lists have no entry.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to a peak of 936 in 1906/07, when 77 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 29 years the salaries add up to 161,712 kuruş, 1.1 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.

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.
