Life and register readings

The life of MEHMED NAZMİ BEY (A) began in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1867/68 (AH 1284). Work began in Shkodër in 1883/84, at about 16, on a first salary of 42.5 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1883/84, places MEHMED NAZMİ (A) in Shkodër, the birthplace, as Vilayet Muhasebe Kalemi Mesalih-i Cariye Kitabeti refakati, where the entries run to 1889/90. The last posts were in Istanbul from 1890 to 1893.

The salary went from 42.5 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to 60 in 1886/87, the peak, in Shkodër, when 2 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over eight years the salaries add up to 4,650 kuruş, 12 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1892/93.
