The "Companion" contains 10,421 separate glosses that include translations from eight languages, identification of all proper names and works, Pound's literary and historical allusions, and other exotica, with exegeses based upon Pound's sources. Also included is a supplementary bibliography of works on Pound, newly updated, and an alphabetized index to "The Cantos,"Terrell, Carroll F. is the author of 'Companion to Cantos of Ezra Pound' with ISBN 9780520036871 and ISBN 0520036875.
