'''''AMEDDJI (T.),'''''

An official of the central administration of the Ottoman Empire; before the tanzimdt, he was directly subordinate to the Re>is iil-Kuttdb; he made copies of reports written by the latter, and also drafted reports on minor matters; in short, he performed all the clerical duties connected with the office of Rc*is ul-Kuttdb.

Moreover, he was present at meetings between the Re*is Efendi and ambassadors, and kept official minutes of the proceedings. He, like the Beylikdji, held the title of Kh"ddiagdnllfy. The name and origin of this office derives from the Persian word dmad meaning 4'has come, has been obtained", an endorsement on documents acknowledging receipt of the dues payable to the Re*is ul-Kuttdb by newly installed military personnel for their tlmdrs and zPdmets. The person making this endorsement was called the Ameddji, and the administrative bureau where the formalities connected with these documents were completed, Amedi. The terms Amedl Kdtibi (secretary to the Amedi), and Amedi Kalemi (the Amedl department), were also used. This office seems to have come into being later than the 17th century.

After the tanzimdt, the office of Ameddii increased in importance and was also known as Amedi-i Diwdn-i Humayun: its function was to make copies of the documents sent to the saddret by other ministries and administrative departments which required the sanction of the Padishah, after resolutions of the Council of Ministers or the Sadr-i A'zam; in the case of documents which did not require this formality, its duty was to correct them, register them and send them to the Head Chamber- Encyclopaedia of Islam lain; and, on the other hand, to register imperia decrees communicated to the saddret. The Ameddii supervised the secretaries whose duty it was to keep the minutes of the Council of Ministers. He was one of the five principal officials of the Sublime Porte; this department was more important and more distinguished than the other departments of the saddret. After the proclamation of the Second Constitution, the name Amedi-i Dlvdn-i Humayun was changed to Secretariat of the Council and Interpreters' Department, under one official, but later (1912) it was restored.
