Life and register readings

The life of SÜLEYMAN EFENDİ began in Varna in 1859/60 (AH 1276). At about 18, in 1878, SÜLEYMAN began work. The first annual entry, for 1878, names SÜLEYMAN as Nefer, with no place. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1884/85.

The salary went from 400 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to 900 in 1897/98, the peak, when 81 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
