Life and register readings

The life of Sadeddin Efendi began in Medina (Medine) in 1874/75 (AH 1291); the father's occupation was "Hazine-i Hazret-i Nebevî Ruznamçe Kalemi başkâtibi". At about 15, in 1888/89, Sadeddin began work in Medina. Every annual entry from 1888/89 to 1904/05 places Sadeddin in the same post, Hazine-i Hazret-i Nebevî Ruznamçe Kalemi mülazemeti, in Medina, the birthplace.

The salary went from 43.2 kuruş a month in 1892/93 to 150 in 1902/03, the peak, in Medina, when 8 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 7,358.4 kuruş, 30 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1904/05.
