Life and register readings

İbrahim Hakkı Bey was born in Diyarbakır in 1870/71 (AH 1287). Work began in Istanbul in 1893/94, at about 23, on a first salary of 1,500 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1893/94, places İbrahim Hakkı in Istanbul as Mabeyn-i Hümayun memuru (görev adı belirtilmemiş), where the entries run to 1909/10. The lists have no entry for 1910 to 1912. At the same time, from 1909/10, the lists also place İbrahim Hakkı in a post with no place named as Tekaüt. The last post was in Misir in 1912/13. The lists give Infisal for 1909/10 instead of a title.

The salary went from 1,500 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to 5,650 in 1906/07, the peak, in Istanbul, when 97 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 18 years the salaries add up to 794,400 kuruş, 7.9 times what an official on the median salary earned. Over the years with a salary, pay stood on average in the top 4.5 per cent of each year's paid officials, a standing reached by 38 of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.

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.
