Life#
Firdevs Efendi was born in Şarköy in 1861/62 (AH 1278). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.
Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Ioannina (Yanya) in 1882/83 (AH 1300). The official was then about 21 years old. The record gives 6 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 350 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1888/89, the official was about 27 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1888/89, shows Posta Memuru in Ioannina, with 350 kuruş a month. In 1898/99 the record shows Çavuş in Leskovik, the salary going from 350 to 300 kuruş a month (before: Posta Memuru in Ioannina). No annual entry is recorded for 1895 to 1898.
The highest salary, 350 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1888/89 as Posta Memuru. 18 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 13 years with a salary the median is 350 kuruş a month, with no rises and 1 cut. From the first salary to the last the salary fell by 1.02 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1903/04, when 23 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
A death is recorded under 1904/05 (AH 1322): the year of the annual list that holds the status word Vefat, not a date of death.
