This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Edhem Efendi began in Ohrid (Ohri). The first annual entry, for 1884/85 (AH 1302), places İbrahim Edhem in Ohrid, the birthplace, as Tahrir ve vergi kalemi stajyeri (Görevin sona ermesi), where the entries run to 1891/92, with a rise to Mal Muduru Muavini in 1887/88. For 1892 to 1903 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1891 to 1907 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Mal Muduru Muavini, with a rise to Mal Muduru in 1903/04.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to a peak of 500 in 1903/04, as Mal Muduru, when 53 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
