Description

The Imperial Rescript means the order of the sultan. Formerly, the term “the Firmans” was used for the orders of the sultan. From 1832 on, the writing that was offered in response to the “letters” presented to the clerk of the sultan and that meant the approval of the sultan was called ‘irade’. The Imperial Rescripts in file procedure were grouped according to the issues and subjects in them, not according to the ministries and offices to which they belonged.
