Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Rüşdi Efendi began in Harput in 1857/58 (AH 1274). İbrahim Rüşdi began work in 1874/75, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1874/75, names İbrahim Rüşdi as Şer‘î niyabet vekili, with no place. İbrahim Rüşdi then moved to Istanbul from 1876 to 1879. Alongside, the lists for 1878 to 1885 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Anadolu sadareti tezkirecisi.

Pay rose from 120 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 400 in 1878/79, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 19,440 kuruş, 66 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1884/85.
