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

Mehmed Ziyâeddin Efendi was born in Mecca (Mekke) in 1870/71 (AH 1287); the father's occupation was "Kavas". The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

Work began in 1882/83, at about 13. Fewer than 5 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known began work at 13 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1882/83, names Mehmed Ziyâeddin as Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı, with no place, with a rise to Cetvel mukayyidliği refakati in 1889/90.

Pay rose from 30 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 120 in 1889/90, when 7 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, eight years of salary come to 9,240 kuruş, 24 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.

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.
