Pound certainly did not translate de Mailla's multi-volume Histoire. Whether he
translated those sections he used into English before putting them into the
Cantos, I don't know. But Achilles Fang's old dissertation on materials for the
study of Pound's cantos identifies all of those sections of De Mailla that
Pound used, in the order in which he used them. Dats where you needs to go, I
betcha. Only problem is, Fang was using an old cantos text, so you will have to
transpose.
