Life and register readings
Mehmed Murad Bey was born in Hersek in 1856/57 (AH 1273). The schooling was at the Imperial Palace School (Enderun-ı Hümayun Mektebi). Work began in Istanbul in 1876/77, at about 19, on a first salary of 83 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1876/77 to 1909/10 places Mehmed Murad in the same post, Hazîne Enderûn-ı Hümâyûn hademesi, in Istanbul. A career like this is rare; 33 of the 1,281 officials whose entries span 30 years or more stayed in one place throughout.
Pay rose from 83 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to a peak of 2,000 in 1901/02, in Istanbul, when 92 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 28 years the salaries add up to 276,528 kuruş, 2 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.
