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
Seyyid Mehmed Hamza Cafer Efendi was born in Medina (Medine) in 1866/67 (AH 1283), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Sandık emini". The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).
Work began in Medina in 1879/80, at about 14. Every annual entry from 1879/80 to 1905/06 places Mehmed Hamza Cafer in the same post, Hazine-i Celile-i Divaniye Muhasebe Kalemi mülazımı, 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 150 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to 777 in 1905/06, the peak, in Medina, when three in four paid officials earned less. Over 18 years the salaries add up to 62,364 kuruş, 71 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.
