History of the office

Defterdar, the Ottoman Minister of Finance

Louis-Nicolas de Lespinasse, Deferdar's office

The exact date of the formal establishment of the office is unknown. According to some sources, the first ''defterdar'' was the ''Kadı'' (judge) of Mihaliç, Çelebi bin Mehmed, appointed in 1359 or 1360, during the reign of Murad I. During the reign of Bayezid I (1389–1402), the poet Zahiri is mentioned as the ''defterdar''. In the classical period, the finances of the Empire were organized under a single ''Defterdar'', literally the main bookkeeper, in charge of a single imperial treasury (''Hazine-i Amire''). Starting in 1793, smaller treasuries independent of the imperial treasury were organized, each with a separate ''defterdar'' in charge. In 1837, a modern ministry was founded under the name of ''Maliye Nezareti'', merging most of the independent treasuries back to the Imperial Treasury. In 1840, the merging of the remaining independent treasuries was completed.

Rank and title

Ministers of Finance in the classical period were called ''Defterdar'', were members of the '' Divan-ı Hümayun'' and held rank higher than agha (military commander of the central organization, situated in Istanbul) and bey (provincial governor), and lower than vizier and kazasker (chief judge). Starting from 1837, Ministers of Finance were called ''Maliye Nazırı'', held the rank of vizier, and were titled Pasha.

List of Defterdars (until 1837)

The office of the Defterdar continued until 1837.
