Life and register readings

The life of Hüseyin Ziver Efendi began in Çemişgezek in 1858/59 (AH 1275). At about 18, in 1877/78, Hüseyin Ziver began work in Istanbul, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1877/78, places Hüseyin Ziver in Istanbul as Tophane-i Âmire Yoklama Kalemi memuru, where the entries run to 1881/82. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1901 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tophane-i Âmire Muhasebe Kalemi memuru, üçüncü sınıf. Alongside, the lists for 1887 to 1893 give a second post, in Istanbul as Paşa Kapısı Askerî Rüşdiyesi imla muallimi.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1877/78 to a peak of 1,130 in 1900/01, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 25 years the salaries add up to 230,328 kuruş, 1.9 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.
