Connection to the encyclopedia article
This encyclopedia account concerns the subject named in this source appearance. It is cited separately from the personnel dossiers.
- Birth in Recep AH1230 in Istanbul.
- Father named Mehmed Hulusi Ağa, with voyvodalık service.
- Career moves from the Imperial Council to the Translation Chamber.
- Later service in foreign affairs and other ministries.
- The published personnel transcription records death on 6 Muharram AH1300 (whole AH year: 1882–1883); TDV gives 16 November 1883. Thesis 941522 explicitly pairs its AH date with 17 November 1882. These alternatives remain unresolved.
- The two source appearances remain separate. Their printed archive locators 2/209 and 2-416 have not been adjudicated against original archive images.
