Life and register readings

Born in Bursa in 1850/51 (AH 1267), İsmail Hakkı Efendi came from the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Mektep hocası". İsmail Hakkı began work in 1867/68, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1867/68, with İsmail Hakkı as mektubcu kalemi (mülazemet) and no place named. İsmail Hakkı then moved to Bursa in 1868/69. The lists have no entry for 1869 to 1874. The last entries, from 1874 to 1902, name İsmail Hakkı in the rüsûmat emâneti evrak odası, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1868/69 instead of a title.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1868/69 to 510 in 1901/02, the peak, when 61 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 30 years the salaries add up to 122,580 kuruş, 82 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.

Places in order of time
