This study, which derives its information from a collection of documents preserved in the Topkapi Saray Museum in Istanbul, the copies of which were viewed in the Center for Documents and Manuscripts at the University of Jordan, and dates back to the two periods of the rule of the governor Suleiman Pasha Al-Azm of the Damascus Province of the Levant, shows the means through which he was able to control the cultivation of various types of grains in the countryside of Tripoli, Damascus, Maarat, Hama and Homs, and to become a monopolist of them. The study also reveals the type of relationship between the governor and Among those responsible for the countryside, such as those in charge of endowments in the villages and the leaders, the Timaris, as well as between the governor and the farmers of these villages. In his interest in controlling the countryside, the governor was keen to establish security and eliminate the interference of both military elements and Bedouin clans in the affairs of farmers. The researcher made tables that included the most important information contained in these documents. Each table related to a specific region. This information was studied and analyzed and then came up with results that were included in the conclusion of the research. This study presents data derived from documents kept in the Topkapi Sari Museum in Istanbul dating to the time when Sulayman Pasha al-‘Azm was the governor of Damascus. The documents describe the methods that enabled him to monopolize the production of grain in the rural areas of Tripoli, Damascus, al- Ma‘arrah, Hamah and Homs. The article identifies the relationship between the governor and the rural officials, such as the administrators of village waqfs, zu‘ama and timariots and the relationship between the governor and the peasants. While attempting to achieve domination, the governor ensured security and minimized the interference of the military and Bedouin in the affairs of the peasants. Tables present the data found in the documents concerning each region, upon which the analysis is based.
