Life and register readings

Salih Efendi was born in Tokat in 1839/40 (AH 1255) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Hırka-i Saadet Camii müezzini". Work began in 1866/67, at about 27, on a first salary of 20 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1866/67, with Salih as stajyer and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1867 to 1872 and 1873 to 1908. Few careers in the lists are as long; fewer than 4 per cent of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 44 years or more.

Pay rose from 20 kuruş a month in 1866/67 to a peak of 550 in 1872/73, when 60 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.
