Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

"And al this hous, of whiche I rede, Was made of twigges, falwe, rede,  And grene eek, and som weren whyte, Swiche as men to these cages thwyte, Or maken of these paniers, Or elles hottes or dossers; That, for the swough and for the twigges, That hous was also ful of gigges, And also ful eek of chirkinges, And of many other werkinges; And eek this hous hath of entrees As fele as leves been on trees In somer, whan they grene been; And on the roof men may yit seen A thousand holes, and wel mo, To leten wel the soun out go." (p. 468)
