Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Ali İzzî Efendi began in Medina (Medine) in 1867/68 (AH 1284); the father's occupation was "Bâbıâli mümeyyizi (emekli)". Work began in Medina in 1885/86, at about 18. From the first annual entry, for 1885/86, to 1910/11, every annual entry places Mehmed Ali İzzî in the same post, Hazine-i Hazret-i Nebevî Rûznâmçe Kalemi mülâzımı, in Medina, the birthplace. A career like this is rare; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

The salary went from 57.1 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to 810 in 1910/11, the peak, in Medina, when two in three paid officials earned less. Over 20 years the salaries add up to 59,374.8 kuruş, 58 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.
