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 wel yclothed was Fraunchyse..."

from: The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: A Facsimile of the William Morris Kelmscott Chaucer (P. 253) -  1958
Additional Information:
"Ful wel yclothed was Fraunchyse; For ther is no cloth sitteth bet On damiselle, than doth roket. A womman wel more fetys is In roket than in cote, ywis. The whyte roket, rideled faire, Bitokened, that ful debonaire And swete was she that it bere. By hir daunced a bachelere; I can not telle you what he highte, But fair he was, and of good highte, Al hadde he be, I sey no more, The lordes sonne of Windesore." (p. 255)
