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 whan this maister, that this magyk wroughte, Saugh it was tyme, he clapte his handes two..."

from: The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: A Facsimile of the William Morris Kelmscott Chaucer (P. 165) -  1958
Additional Information:
"And after this, he dide hym swich plesaunce, That he hym shewed his lady on a daunce, On which hymself he daunced, as hym thoughte. And whan this maister, that this magyk wroughte, Saugh it was tyme, he clapte his handes two, And, farewel! al oure revel was ago. And yet remoeved they nevere out of the hous, Whil they saugh al this sighte merveillous, But in his studie, theras his bookes be, They seten stille, and no wight but they thre." (p. 166)
