Life and register readings
Mehmed Hasan Zafer Efendi was born in Medina (Medine) in 1876/77 (AH 1293); the father's occupation was "Şâzelî Dergâhı postnişîni". Work began in Istanbul in 1894/95, at about 18. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, places Mehmed Hasan Zafer in Istanbul as Şûrâ-yı Devlet Kalemi mülâzımı, where the entries run to 1908/09. The lists have no entry for 1909 to 1912. The last entry, for 1912/13, names Mehmed Hasan Zafer as Hüdavendigâr Vilâyeti mektupçusu, with no place. The farthest post, Istanbul, lay about 2,100 km from Medina, and fewer than 4 per cent of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from the birthplace.
Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1896/97 to a peak of 3,000 in 1912/13, when 84 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak was 60 times the first salary, a rise matched by fewer than 4 per cent of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more. The final annual entry is for 1912/13.
