Article Tablet of Authority İn Mongols: Paiza and Its Usage(Ahmet Yesevi University, 2024) Coşkun, D.The Mongol Emperors had a tablet called paiza prepared for military officials, messengers, and others who travelled on an international scale in order to enable them to move easily and quickly both for their duties and their travels. Indicating the duties and authorizations of the bearer, these tablets offered many privileges to the bearer, such as easy supply of provisions and the allocation of riding-animals. Paizas were actively used in curfew practices, official correspondence, and postal organization. It is known that these tablets, whose history is estimated to begin with the Huns, were also used by the Khitan and Chinese. In fact, this influence, which is encountered in Mongolian paizas, is noticeable with the intensive use of Chinese and Uyghur writings. The present study discusses the types and examples of paizas, and the use of this term in Chinese, Persian, and Western sources. © 2024, Ahmet Yesevi University. All rights reserved.
