Life and register readings

Osman Remzi Efendi was born in Malatya, into the İslam community. Work began in Istanbul in 1885/86 (AH 1303), on a first salary of 320 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1885/86, names Osman Remzi as Kavaid-i Osmani ve İlmihal hocası, with no place.

The salary went from 320 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to 1,000 in 1909/10, the peak, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 25 years of salary come to 129,120 kuruş, about what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.

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.
