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. I am researching Pound's China Cantos and I have been looking at John J. >Nolde's transcriptions of Pound's notebooks in Blossoms from the East. Are >they word-for-word exact?
