Life and register readings
İbrahim Edhem Efendi was born in Istanbul in 1885/86 (AH 1303); the father's occupation was "Daire-i Hümayun bekçibaşı kethüdası". At about 15, in 1900/01, İbrahim Edhem began work in Istanbul. The first annual entry, for 1900/01, names İbrahim Edhem as Emlak-ı Hümayun Birinci Şubesi kâtibi, with no place. The lists give Infisal for 1909/10 instead of a title.
The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to 2,000 in 1907/08, the peak, when 91 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over nine years the salaries add up to 121,800 kuruş, 2.7 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
