Mehmet Nasır Bey

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

Mehmet Nasır Bey was born in Bosna. The first annual entry, for 1859/60 (AH 1276), names Mehmet Nasır as Mektubi odası görevlisi, with no place. Few careers in the lists are as long; fewer than 1 per cent of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 52 years or more.

The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1859/60 to 9,000 in 1898/99, the peak, when 99 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 52 years of salary come to 2,207,640 kuruş, 8.4 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years, a level reached by fewer than 3 per cent of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
