Yusuf Ziya 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 Yusuf Ziya Efendi began in Kars. The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). Work began in Kars in 1869/70 (AH 1286). The annual lists begin in 1869/70, with Yusuf Ziya as Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı in Kars, the birthplace. The lists have no entry for 1872 to 1880. From 1880 to 1892 every annual entry places Yusuf Ziya in İspir. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1885/86 instead of a title.

The salary went from 140 kuruş a month in 1871/72 to 300 in 1881/82, the peak, in İspir, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 26,160 kuruş, 67 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1891/92.

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.
