Life and register readings
Mahmud Es'ad Paşa was born in Izmir (İzmir) in 1837/38 (AH 1253); the father's occupation was "İlmiye mensubu". At about 13, in 1849/50, Mahmud Es'ad began work in Istanbul. The first annual entry, for 1849/50, places Mahmud Es'ad in Istanbul as Dîvân-ı Hümâyun Kalemi mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1854/55 give a second post, in Paris as Paris Mekteb-i Osmanî tahsili. Alongside, the lists for 1859 to 1861 give a second post, in Istanbul as Petersburg Sefareti kâtibi. The annual lists then follow Mahmud Es'ad to Paris, Istanbul, Peste and Pazar (Atina), four places in 13 years. Alongside, the lists for 1873 to 1878 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Mazulen ikamet. Next came Istanbul and Paris from 1878 to 1895. Alongside, the lists for 1880/81 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Madrid özel görevi. The last post was in Istanbul again in 1894/95.
Pay rose from 180 kuruş a month in 1853/54 to a peak of 45,000 in 1877/78, when 99 per cent of paid officials earned less. From 1880 to 1882 no official in the lists was paid more; only 19 of the 7,179 officials with a salary were ever the best paid of a year. The final annual entry is for 1894/95.
