Life and register readings
The life of İbrahim Edhem Bey began in Istanbul in 1839/40 (AH 1255); the father's occupation was "Asker-i Şahane binbaşısı". İbrahim Edhem began work in 1846/47, at about 8, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, 19 started at 8 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1846/47, names İbrahim Edhem as Hazîne-i Enderun-ı Hümâyun hıdemalığı, with no place. Few careers in the lists are as long; fewer than 2 per cent of the 8,239 officials have entries spanning 48 years or more.
Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1846/47 to a peak of 2,500 in 1892/93, when 95 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 48 years the salaries add up to 369,324 kuruş, 1.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1892/93.
