Seyyid Lütfullah Efendi
Seyyid Lütfullah Efendi was born in Salahiye in AH 1256. Recorded schooling includes 4 years at Sibyan Mektebi. First work is recorded in Bagdat in AH 1273 (17 AH years after the recorded birth year), with “Rusumat Kalemi” as first-job wording. The only surviving annual entry is AH 1287 with Muhabere Memuru in Suleymaniye (450 kuruş monthly). Recorded language competency: Turkish: Kitabet (writing); Arabic: Tekellum (speaking); Persian: Tekellum (speaking); English: Tekellum (speaking).

Each stage retains its recorded place and title. Annual stages group only consecutive years with the same title and place; they do not prove continuous tenure. Birth-year differences compare AH year numbers; they are not exact ages or birthdays.

Places in this record
◆ Birthplace■ First work● Annual recordRing: multiple relations
Every recorded locality remains visible in the key. Hollow markers show candidate coordinates; these are not resolved locations. Overlapping markers are offset for legibility; a small anchor and leader retain the source coordinate. Coastlines provide modern geographic context.
How to read the dates, birth-year differences and salaries
AH years are the ordering clock. Birth-year differences subtract uncontested AH birth and event year numbers; they are not exact ages or birthdays. Separately recorded first-job age fields can use a different or unresolved convention and are not substituted into this calculation. Gregorian years are stored dataset labels. The first-work field may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service, and does not establish the beginning of PT service.
Salaries are monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash disbursements. Differences between annual entries are not dated promotions or transfers. A source status such as Vefat is not a formal death date; no death locality is assigned from a last work place.

Schooling years are a duration/classification, not an acquisition date. Education and training dates await source-linked structured records; no dates are inferred here. No completion date is inferred from a schooling duration.

The first-work date may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service. The first-salary amount is a separate inherited field; their presence together does not prove that payment began on this date. Neither is the first positive annual salary observation.

- Associated salary field

Source-labelled first-work department/title and associated salary. This amount is separate from the inherited first-salary field and from the first positive annual salary row; payment status and department date need source review.
PT-start alignment unavailable: department not exact pt label.

4 fields contain historical terms.
- Turkish
- Kitabet (writing)
- Arabic
- Tekellum (speaking)
- Persian
- Tekellum (speaking)
- English
- Tekellum (speaking)
Only recorded terms are shown. Omitted language fields mean not recorded; they do not establish that the official lacked a language. Original competency wording is preserved; Kitabet (writing), Tekellum (speaking) and Asina (familiarity) are cautious historical glosses, not modern proficiency levels. Workbook language notes remain separately source-linked in the additional evidence. Read the terminology note.

How to read this dossier
The website joins the exact archival identity across editions. Names are attributes and never merge records. No annual gap is filled from another extract. Geographic alternatives, missing values and differences remain evidence rather than silent corrections.

Names prefer September, then older; supplemental names fill only missing names. Other preferred attributes use recovered, then September, then older, with modal nonblank value and source-order tie break. This does not adjudicate historical truth or changes in coding. |
