MUHAMMED SAİT EFENDİ

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

Born in Sulaymaniyah (Süleymaniye) in 1856/57 (AH 1273), MUHAMMED SAİT EFENDİ came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Kaza anbar memuru". MUHAMMED SAİT began work in 1873/74, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1873/74, names MUHAMMED SAİT as mal kalemi mülazımı, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1900 give a second post, in Mosul as muhasebe kalemi evrak mukayyidi. The lists give Vefat (death) for 1899/1900 instead of a title.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to 495 in 1897/98, the peak, in Mosul, when 56 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 27 years the salaries add up to 122,700 kuruş, about what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
