Life and register readings

The life of Zeynel Zühdü Efendi began in Sjenica (Seniçe) in 1852/53 (AH 1269). At about 14, in 1866/67, Zeynel Zühdü began work in Novi Pazar (Yenipazar). The annual lists begin in 1866/67, with Zeynel Zühdü as Sancak tahrirat birimi stajyeri in Novi Pazar, where the entries run to 1875/76. Alongside, the lists for 1874 to 1877 give a second post, in Sjenica as Maarif Dairesi memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1875/76 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil. Zeynel Zühdü then moved to Sjenica and Sarajevo (Saraybosna) from 1877 to 1898. The lists have no entry for 1882 to 1895 and 1898 to 1901. Alongside, the lists for 1897/98 give a second post, in Novi Pazar as Nüfus memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1897/98 give a second post, in Nova Varoš as Kaymakam vekili. The last entry, for 1901/02, names Zeynel Zühdü as İkinci rütbe ikinci sınıf, with no place.

Pay rose from 80 kuruş a month in 1871/72 to a peak of 500 in 1878, in Sjenica, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1901/02.
