Josip Stadler (*24.I.1843. †8.XII.1918.) svećenik je Zagrebačke nadbiskupije i prvi nadbiskup vrhbosanski. Školovao se u Požegi, Zagrebu i Rimu, gdje je primio svećenički red 24. svibnja 1868. Nakon povratka iz Rima, u Zagrebu djeluje vrlo zauzeto u društveno-uljudbenom i crkveno-duhovnom životu, od 1869. do 1881., kada je imenovan prvim vrhbosanskim nadbiskupom. Nakon biskupskog ređenja, ponovno u Rimu, 20. studenoga 1881., svečano je uveden u nadbiskupsku službu u Sarajevu 15. siječnja 1882. U ovom radu spisateljica predstavlja odjek Stadlerova imenovanja nadbiskupom, u hrvatskoj javnosti. Taj odjek predstavlja na temelju pisanja tijekom 1881. godine u časopisima “Katolički list”, “Hrvatski učitelj”, “Glasnik Sv. Josipa” i “Vienac”.
