Johann Jakob Stähelin (1 May 1797, in Basel – 27 August 1875, in Langenbruck) was a Swiss theologian, who specialized in Old Testament studies.

From 1817 to 1821 he studied theology at the University of Tübingen. In 1823 he received his PhD and subsequently worked as a lecturer at the University of Basel. In 1829 he became an associate professor at Basel, where in 1835 he was named a full professor of Old Testament studies. In 1842 he obtained his doctorate of divinity, and in 1846 was appointed university rector.[1][2]

gollark: Hmm, the most convoluted and reasonably practical way to do this would be to... use my RTL-SDR to listen to Radio 4, but hook it up to my server, run it through some kind of audio compression thing, somehow figure out how to stream the resulting audio over HTTP, then stick that on my website.
gollark: Hmm. I should really listen to these announcements... what's the most convoluted way to do that, I wonder.
