This book offers a study of the cosmogonic works by Fr. Angelo
Zottoli S.J., a Jesuit missionary who has received relatively
little attention by modern scholars, but who deserves a special
recognition for his theological and philosophical ideas. More
generally, the book aims to shed light on the importance of
cosmogony in the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary environment
of Xujiahui, the area in modern Shanghai where Zottoli flourished.
It shows how through Zottoli’s teaching and sermons he was able
to reimagine his own cosmogonic ideas, his personality, and his
relationship with local Chinese converts. Among Zottoli’s most
famous students was Ma Xiangbo (馬相伯 1840–1939) and Zottoli
played a crucial role in Ma’s intellectual formation. A wider
familiarity with Zottoli’s works is not only interesting in and
of itself, but also paves the way to future studies on the complex
and multifaceted relationship between European missionaries and
Chinese students in Shanghai during the nineteenth century.
