Life and register readings
Selim Nazif Efendi (B) was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1851/52 (AH 1268). At about 16, in 1868/69, Selim Nazif (B) began work in Shkodër, on a first salary of 75 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1868/69, to 1898/99, every annual entry places Selim Nazif (B) in the same post, Vilayet Muhasebe Kalemi memuru, in Shkodër, the birthplace. A career like this is rare; 33 of the 1,281 officials whose entries span 30 years or more stayed in one place throughout.
Pay rose from 75 kuruş a month in 1868/69 to a peak of 500 in 1878, in Shkodër, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 188 kuruş. Over 19 years the salaries add up to 45,864 kuruş, 47 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.
