Shmavonian Harutyun
=Биография=
Арутюн Шмавонян родился в персидском городе Шираз.
Это был один из образованнейших людей своего времени, прекрасный знаток истории древней и средневековой армянской культуры.
==Деятельность==
В 1777 г., потеряв обоих сыновей, Шмавонян принял монашество.
В 1784 г. Шмавонян приехал в Мадрас. За короткий срок его патриотизм, обширные знания и весь образ жизни завоевали ему любовь местной армянской общины, и он решил навсегда обосноваться в Мадрасе, где жил и работал в течение 40 лет.
Арутюн Шмавонян вместе с несколькими своими сотрудниками стал продолжателем развернувшейся в Мадрасе просветительской деятельности. Приобретя опыт в отливке типографских шрифтов, в 1789 г. он основал вторую в Мадрасе армянскую типографию, первым изданием которой была книга "Мученичество девы Марианэ".
В третий, последний период своей жизни А. Шмавонян занимался исключительно издательской деятельностью.
Арутюн Шмавонян скончался в 1824 г.

Rev. Fr. Haruthiun Shmavonian
His zeal and perseverance helped him to overcome many difficulties. He worked unceasingly for the enlightenment of his compatriots and earned the high esteem of his nationals not only in India but in all parts of the world as well. Among his diverse undertakings, he succeeded in manufacturing the paper on which “Azdarar” was printed, in the contemporary primitive method of hand-made paper production from cotton-pulp. Unfortunately, the life of this journal was of but short duration and ended in February, l796, eighteen months after its start. During his lengthy service in Madras he was gratified to evidence the well-being of his compatriots, many of whom took an active part in the commercial life of that famous city.

This father of Armenian journalism passed away in Madras on the 9th February 1824, at the age of 74, and was laid to rest in the Armenian churchyard. Befitting tributes were paid to his revered memory during his funeral and again on the 9th February 1924, when the centenary of his death was commemorated in many of the Armenian churches throughout the world.
