      abstract = {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.
