Life and register readings

İsmail Hakkı Efendi was born in Bursa in 1844/45 (AH 1260), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Kadı". At about 17, in 1861/62, İsmail Hakkı began work. The first annual entry, for 1861/62, names İsmail Hakkı in the Hüdâvendigar eyaleti tahrîrat kalemi, with no place. İsmail Hakkı then moved to Kibris in 1865/66. The last entries, from 1867 to 1896, name İsmail Hakkı as Bursa meclis temyiz-i hukuk mukayyid refâkati, with no place. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1870 to 1872 and 1878; Aciga Cikarildi for 1894/95; Azil (dismissal) for 1895/96.

Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1863/64 to a peak of 600 in 1890/91, when 65 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 30 years of salary come to 129,600 kuruş, 86 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1895/96.

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.
