Hagop Baronian (1843-1891) was an influential Armenian writer, satirist, educator, and social figure in the 19th century. Widely acknowledged as the greatest Armenian satirist of all time, closely followed by Yervant Odian. Baronian's most famous work was the book Medzabadiv Mouratsganner ("Honorable Beggars"), which parodies the almost beggar-like state of writers and publishers in that period. Unfortunately, he himself suffered the same fate, and ended up dying penniless on the streets of Istanbul.
