A treasurer or finance officer in the Ottoman Empire, responsible for managing state finances and the royal treasury.
From Persian/Turkish 'hazne' (treasure, treasury) plus 'dar' (holder or keeper), a common Ottoman administrative title borrowed from Persian administrative vocabulary.
The Ottoman Empire's fiscal system was so advanced that haznadars created some of the earliest detailed financial records in history—documents that modern economists use to understand 16th-century trade and economics.
