Life and register readings
Born in Aleppo (Halep) in 1850/51 (AH 1267), Mihail Şami Efendi came from the Katolik community. Mihail Şami began work in Aleppo in 1868/69, at about 17, on a first salary of 95 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1868/69 to 1909/10 places Mihail Şami in the same post, Halep Vilayeti Umur-ı Ecnebiye Kalemi kâtibi, in Aleppo, the birthplace. The lists give Infisal for 1909/10 instead of a title. Entries spanning 43 years are rare, reached by fewer than 4 per cent of the 8,239 officials.
The salary went from 95 kuruş a month in 1868/69 to 617.5 in 1896/97, the peak, in Aleppo, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.
Career and salary#
Log scale: equal steps are equal ratios. The median of the same title is drawn for the years in which at least 5 officials with that title had a salary, and the median of the same province for the years in which at least 5 officials were paid in the province of the official's salary that year.
