Mehmet İzzet Efendi

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 Mehmet İzzet Efendi began in Sivas. The first annual entry, for 1890/91 (AH 1308), names Mehmet İzzet as muvakkat kantarcı, with no place. For 1891 to 1894 and 1895 to 1897 the lists have no entry.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 400 kuruş a month in 1890/91, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.

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.
