Sâlim Bey

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 Sâlim Bey began in Çemişgezek in 1859/60 (AH 1276); the father's occupation was "Çemişgezek kazası müdürü". Sâlim studied at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with Sâlim as Kızılkilise kaymakamı in Nazımiye (Kızılkilise). The last entries, from 1883 to 1885, name Sâlim as Dersim vilayeti nüfus nazırı, with no place. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1881/82 and 1884/85.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 1,170 kuruş a month in 1881/82, in Nazımiye, when 85 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 26,040 kuruş, 1.8 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1884/85.

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.
