Diwan al-Barid (the postal diwan)

The postal diwan as Abu al-Faraj Qudama ibn Ja'far prescribes it in Kitab al-Kharaj wa-Sina'at al-Kitaba: a diwan unto itself receiving dispatches from every province and forwarding each to its destination, presenting the barid masters' reports from all regions to the caliph or composing their digests, overseeing the station-masters, timekeepers and clerks of the relay routes, disbursing their rations and commissioning the keepers of itineraries in every misr — its chief required to be a man of trust. Al-Qalqashandi's Subh al-a'sha traces the barid from the Persian and Roman emperors through Mu'awiya, Abd al-Malik and the Abbasids, its suspension by the Buyids, its revival by al-Zahir Baybars between Egypt and Syria and its collapse after Timur's invasion in 804 AH, and describes the engraved silver plaques couriers wore and the relay stations from the Cairo Citadel to Qus, Alexandria, Damietta, Gaza, Damascus and Aleppo.
