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 İbrahim Halil Efendi began in Çemişgezek in 1843/44 (AH 1259); the father's occupation was "İdlib kaymakamı". Work began in Erzurum in 1866/67, at about 23, on a first salary of 120 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1866/67, with İbrahim Halil as Mektubi kalemi mübeyyizi in Erzurum. At the same time, from 1867 to 1869, the lists also place İbrahim Halil in a post with no place named as Tahrir kalemi mukayyidi. İbrahim Halil then moved to Konya and Mazgirt from 1869 to 1881, with a rise to Emlak Basmuharriri in 1878 and to Aşar ve ağnam başkatibi in 1879/80. The last entries, from 1882 to 1887, name İbrahim Halil as Sancak Muhasebecisi, with no place.

The salary went from 120 kuruş a month in 1866/67 to 2,000 in 1880/81, the peak, as Sancak Muhasebecisi in Mazgirt, when 93 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 1,800 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1886/87.
