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 Mehmed Nâzım Efendi began in Çemişgezek in 1845/46 (AH 1262). At about 22, in 1868/69, Mehmed Nâzım began work in Çemişgezek, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1868/69, with Mehmed Nâzım as İhtisap rüsumu kâtibi in Çemişgezek, the birthplace. Next came Ovacık from 1874 to 1881. The lists have no entry for 1870 to 1874. Alongside, the lists for 1880 to 1889 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Meclis-i idare ikinci kâtibi. For 1884 to 1888 the lists have no entry. The lists give Infisal for 1869/70 and İstifa (resignation) for 1876/77 instead of a title.

The salary went from 100 kuruş a month in 1868/69 to 600 in 1883/84, the peak, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 12 years of salary come to 42,240 kuruş, 69 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1888/89.

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.
