Ömer Lütfi 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 Ömer Lütfi Efendi began in Harput in 1835/36 (AH 1251). At about 41, in 1876/77, Ömer Lütfi began work, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. Few began so late; fewer than 3 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 41 or older. The annual lists begin in 1876/77, with Ömer Lütfi as Nizamiye Hazinesi tahsildarı and no place named. For 1878 to 1879 and 1887 to 1897 the lists have no entry. The lists give Vefat (death) for 1905/06 instead of a title.
Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to a peak of 864 in 1899/1900, when four in five paid officials earned less. Over 16 years the salaries add up to 118,176 kuruş, 1.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.
