Life and register readings

Mahmud Nedim Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1865/66 (AH 1282). Work began in Shkodër in 1883/84, at about 18. Every annual entry from 1883/84 to 1903/04 places Mahmud Nedim in the same post, Vilayet Muhasebe Kalemi görevlisi, in Shkodër, the birthplace. Fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

Pay rose from 120 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 500 in 1901/02, in Shkodër, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 18 years the salaries add up to 48,840 kuruş, 56 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1903/04.
