Life and register readings

Yusuf Cemil Efendi was born in Erzincan, into the İslam community. Work began in Erzincan in 1878/79 (AH 1296), on a first salary of 90 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1878/79 to 1898/99 places Yusuf Cemil in the same post, Tahrirat kalemi katibi, in Erzincan, the birthplace.

The salary went from 90 kuruş a month in 1878/79 to 500 in 1898/99, the peak, in Erzincan, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 21 years the salaries add up to 70,500 kuruş, 69 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.
