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 Mehmet Fethi Efendi began in Ürgüp in 1870/71 (AH 1287). At about 15, in 1884/85, Mehmet Fethi began work in Ürgüp. The annual lists begin in 1884/85, with Mehmet Fethi as Bidayet mahkemesi mülazımı in Ürgüp, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1900/01. Alongside, the lists for 1900 to 1906 give a second post, in Nevşehir as Bidayet mahkemesi birinci kâtibi.

Pay rose from 225 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to a peak of 400 in 1900/01, in Nevşehir, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 19 years of salary come to 63,900 kuruş, 69 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.

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.
