Life and register readings

İbrahim Edhem Efendi was born in Kırşehir in 1867/68 (AH 1284). Work began in Kırşehir in 1883/84, at about 16. From the first annual entry, for 1883/84, to 1910/11, every annual entry places İbrahim Edhem in the same post, aşar ve ağnam kâtibi, in Kırşehir, the birthplace. A career like this is rare; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

Pay rose from 380 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to a peak of 400 in 1907/08, in Kırşehir, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.
