Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Ziyaeddin Efendi began in Mecca (Mekke) in 1869/70 (AH 1286); the father's occupation was "Hicaz Vilayeti serkavası". The first annual entry, for 1886/87, names Mehmed Ziyaeddin as Hicaz Vilayeti Muhasebe Kalemi görevlisi, with no place. Mehmed Ziyaeddin then moved back to Mecca, the birthplace, from 1894 to 1896. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1910 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Hicaz Vilayeti Muhasebe Kalemi evamir mukayyidi.

The salary went from 30 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to 770 in 1909/10, the peak, when 61 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 24 years of salary come to 93,240 kuruş, 77 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
