Life and register readings

Veysel Cemil Efendi was born in Antalya in 1862/63 (AH 1279); the father was a medrese teacher (müderris). At about 11, in 1873/74, Veysel Cemil began work in Antalya, on a first salary of 120 kuruş. Few began so young; fewer than 2 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 11 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1873/74, places Veysel Cemil in Antalya, the birthplace, as Rüsumat Müdürlüğü mukayyidi, where the entries run to 1889/90. Alongside, the lists for 1889/90 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tahrir ve Vergi kâtibi.

Pay rose from 120 kuruş a month in 1873/74 to a peak of 250 in 1889/90, when 21 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 17 years of salary come to 30,600 kuruş, 36 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.

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.
