Life and register readings

Yusuf Ziyaeddin Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1859/60 (AH 1276) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "İşkodra Vilayeti jandarma yüzbaşısı". Work began in Shkodër in 1880/81, at about 21. From the first annual entry, for 1880/81, to 1909/10, every annual entry places Yusuf Ziyaeddin in the same post, Rüsûm-ı Sitte Nezareti Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı, in Shkodër, the birthplace. Only 33 of the 1,281 officials whose entries span 30 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to a peak of 1,000 in 1907/08, in Shkodër, when 77 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 21 years the salaries add up to 85,800 kuruş, 83 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
