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.

"Ful dredfully tho gan she stonde stille, And took it nought, but al hir humble chere Gan for to chaunge..."

by: Edward Coley Burne-Jones (Artist) from: The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: A Facsimile of the William Morris Kelmscott Chaucer (P. 483) -  1958
Additional Information:
"Ful dredfully tho gan she stonde stille, And took it [the letter] nought, but al hir humble chere Gan for to chaunge, and seyde: Scrit ne bille, For love of God, that toucheth swich matere, Ne bring me noon; and also, uncle dere, To myn estat have more reward, I preye, Than to his lust; what sholde I more seye?" (p. 493)
