Life and register readings

Born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1848/49 (AH 1265), ZÜBEYİR NAZİF EFENDİ was the child of a merchant (tüccar). Work began in Shkodër in 1865/66, at about 16, on a first salary of 135 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1865/66 to 1908/09 places ZÜBEYİR NAZİF in the same post, Muhasebe kalemi memuru, in Shkodër, the birthplace. Only 14 of the 446 officials whose entries span 40 years or more stayed in one place throughout. Entries spanning 45 years are rare, reached by fewer than 3 per cent of the 8,239 officials.

The salary went from 135 kuruş a month in 1865/66 to 800 in 1908/09, the peak, in Shkodër, when 70 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 44 years of salary come to 228,720 kuruş, about what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
