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

Mehmed Agâh Efendi was born in Bayburt in 1880/81 (AH 1298); the father's occupation was "Tapu kâtibi". Work began in Bayburt in 1901/02, at about 20. The first annual entry, for 1901/02, names Mehmed Agâh as tüccar Ali Bey'in yanı kitabet-i hususiyye, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1901 to 1909 give a second post, in Bayburt as Tüccar Ali Bey'in hususi kâtibi. The last post was in Tutak in 1911.

The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1908/09 to 500 in 1911, the peak, in Tutak, when 38 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 14,400 kuruş, 57 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1911.

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.
