Mustafa Fevzi Efendi

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

The life of Mustafa Fevzi Efendi began in Bilâdköy in 1856/57 (AH 1273). The first annual entry, for 1876/77, names Mustafa Fevzi as Tahrir Vergi Kalemi tahsilat yazı işleri memuru, with no place. For 1878 to 1882 the lists have no entry.

Pay rose from 235 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to a peak of 495 in 1896/97, when 52 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 17 years the salaries add up to 25,104 kuruş, 30 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
