Life and register readings
İsmail Kamil Efendi was born in Drama in 1840/41 (AH 1256). At about 39, in 1878/79, İsmail Kamil began work in Istanbul. Fewer than 4 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known began work at 39 or older. The first annual entry, for 1878/79, places İsmail Kamil in Istanbul as istinaf mahkemesi hukuk dairesi mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1879 to 1883 give a second post, in Mytilene as bidayet mahkemesi aza mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1887 give a second post, in Cebeli bereket as müddei-i umumi muavini. Alongside, the lists for 1886 to 1889 give a second post, in Kahramanmaraş as bidayet mahkemesi müddei-i umumi muavini. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1882/83.
The salary went from 270 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 1,400 in 1882/83, the peak, in Cebeli bereket, when 88 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 120,840 kuruş, 3.1 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1888/89.
