Note(s) : 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 (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. Antonio De Caro is a Postdoctoral
Scientific Researcher within the Centre for Early Medieval Studies at Masaryk University,
Brno, Czech Republic. He earned his PhD degree at Hong Kong Baptist University under
the supervision of Prof. Lo Ping Cheung. After his doctoral studies he has been awarded
with the prestigious Young Scholar Award by the EACP (European Association for Chinese
Philosophy)
