Life and register readings
The life of Selim Efendi began in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1827/28 (AH 1243). At about 29, in 1856/57, Selim began work in Shkodër. The annual lists begin in 1856/57, with Selim as Ticaret Mahkemesi reisi in Shkodër, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1875/76. Next came Istanbul in 1877/78. The last posts were in Shkodër again from 1878 to 1880.
The salary went from 750 kuruş a month in 1860/61 to 5,000 in 1877/78, the peak, in Istanbul, when 96 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 1,500 kuruş. In all, 19 years of salary come to 246,000 kuruş, 2.5 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1879/80.
