Life and register readings
Born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1845 (AH 1261), İbrahim Zihni Efendi was the child of a tradesman (esnaf). İbrahim Zihni began work in Shkodër in 1879/80, at about 35, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1879/80 to 1904/05 places İbrahim Zihni in the same post, Bidayet Mahkemesi azalığı, in Shkodër, the birthplace. Of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more, fewer than 5 per cent stayed in one place throughout.
The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to 1,000 in 1904/05, the peak, in Shkodër, when 81 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 25 years the salaries add up to 123,000 kuruş, about what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1904/05.
Career and salary#
