ABSTRACT

Pound mentioned having briefly been in contact with Gilson in Kulchur (1938), 54-5: 'Even in my own case I have struggled in vain for corrections, I have howled in vain for odd bits of supplementary knowledge. The eminent professor and historian G. promised me light on Mediaeval philosophy. I sent him vainly my best set of photographs of del Garbo's commentary on Guido. And there have ensued yean of silence'.
