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 Yusuf Ziya Efendi began in Ayıntab Kalesi in 1829/30 (AH 1245). Work began in Niš (Niş) in 1873/74, at about 44, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. Few began so late; fewer than 2 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 44 or older. The first annual entry, for 1873/74, places Yusuf Ziya in Niš as Bidayet Mahkemesi mümeyyizi. The lists have no entry for 1874 to 1878. The last posts were in İnegöl from 1878 to 1881, with a rise to Nahiye Muduru.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1873/74 to a peak of 320 in 1878, as Nahiye Muduru in İnegöl, when 37 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1880/81.

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.
