Life and register readings

İbrahim Hakkı Efendi was born in Baghdad (Bağdat) in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father's occupation was "Bağdat Aşar Nezareti tahrirat başkâtibi". At about 15, in 1887/88, İbrahim Hakkı began work in Baghdad. From the first annual entry, for 1887/88, to 1895/96, every annual entry places İbrahim Hakkı in the same post, Mektubi Kalemi müdavimi, in Baghdad, the birthplace. In place of a title the lists give Vefat (death) for 1896/97.

Pay rose from 40 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 170 in 1895/96, in Baghdad, when 13 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 10,020 kuruş, 26 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.
