Mehmet Bahattin Efendi
Mehmet Bahattin Efendi was born in Istanbul / Dersaadet in AH 1280. Recorded schooling includes 7 years at Rusdiye Mektebi. First work is recorded in Edirne in AH 1308 (28 AH years after the recorded birth year), with “Reji Kalemi” as first-job wording. The only surviving annual entry is AH 1315 with Posta Memuru in Dersaadet (50 kuruş monthly). Recorded language competency: Turkish: Kitabet (writing).

1 recorded AH year · 1 annual entry
Life and career stages
Recorded AH years- AH 1280
- AH 1308Birth-year difference: 28 AH years
- AH 1315Birth-year difference: 35 AH years
Each stage retains its recorded place and title. Annual stages group only consecutive years with the same title and place; they do not prove continuous tenure. Birth-year differences compare AH year numbers; they are not exact ages or birthdays.
Assigned salary in the annual career
Monthly kuruş · AHPosta Memuru · dersaadet · 50 kuruş monthly
First work is separately recorded at AH 1308 in Edirne (Reji Kalemi). The first-salary field is 300 kuruş; it is not a dated point on this curve.
AH 1315 · 1897 label
One annual entry survives; there is no salary trajectory to draw.
Places in this record
◆ Birthplace■ First work● Annual recordRing: multiple relations
Every recorded locality remains visible in the key. Hollow markers show candidate coordinates; these are not resolved locations. Overlapping markers are offset for legibility; a small anchor and leader retain the source coordinate. Coastlines provide modern geographic context.
How to read the dates, birth-year differences and salaries
AH years are the ordering clock. Birth-year differences subtract uncontested AH birth and event year numbers; they are not exact ages or birthdays. Separately recorded first-job age fields can use a different or unresolved convention and are not substituted into this calculation. Gregorian years are stored dataset labels. The first-work field may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service, and does not establish the beginning of PT service.
Salaries are monthly nominal assigned amounts, not confirmed cash disbursements. Differences between annual entries are not dated promotions or transfers. A source status such as Vefat is not a formal death date; no death locality is assigned from a last work place.

Schooling years are a duration/classification, not an acquisition date. Education and training dates await source-linked structured records; no dates are inferred here. No completion date is inferred from a schooling duration.

- Place
- Edirne
- First-salary field
- 300 kuruş

The first-work date may concern apprenticeship, paid instruction or earlier state service. The first-salary amount is a separate inherited field; their presence together does not prove that payment began on this date. Neither is the first positive annual salary observation.
Recorded first job
- Department / title wording
- Reji Kalemi
- Workbook first-job year
- 1308 (source year)
- Associated salary field
- 300 kuruş
Source-labelled first-work department/title and associated salary. This amount is separate from the inherited first-salary field and from the first positive annual salary row; payment status and department date need source review.
PT-start alignment unavailable: department not exact pt label.

1 field contains historical terms.
- Turkish
- Kitabet (writing)
Only recorded terms are shown. Omitted language fields mean not recorded; they do not establish that the official lacked a language. Original competency wording is preserved; Kitabet (writing), Tekellum (speaking) and Asina (familiarity) are cautious historical glosses, not modern proficiency levels. Workbook language notes remain separately source-linked in the additional evidence. Read the terminology note.

The website joins the exact archival identity across editions. Names are attributes and never merge records. No annual gap is filled from another extract. Geographic alternatives, missing values and differences remain evidence rather than silent corrections.
