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

The life of İsmail Zeki Efendi began in Germili in 1887/88 (AH 1305); the father's occupation was "Haleb İdadi Mektebi başhademesi". Work began in Raqqa (Rakka) in 1904/05, at about 16, on a first salary of 265 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1904/05, with İsmail Zeki as Rakka Rüşdiye Mektebi riyaziye ve hüsn-i hat muallimi in Raqqa. Alongside, the lists for 1905/06 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Emlâk-ı Hümâyûn Hamidiye Rüşdiye Mektebi muallim-i sânîsi. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1905/06 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 265 kuruş a month in 1904/05 to a peak of 300 in 1905/06, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.

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.
