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.

"In at the halle-dore, al sodeynly, Ther cam a knyght upon a steede of bras..."

from: The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: A Facsimile of the William Morris Kelmscott Chaucer (P. 153) -  1958
Additional Information:
"In at the halle-dore, al sodeynly, Ther cam a knyght upon a steede of bras, And in his hand a brood mirour of glas.  Upon his thombe he hadde of gold a ring, And by his syde a naked swerd hangyng; And up he rideth to the heighe bord. In al the halle ne was ther spoken a word For merveille of this knyght; hym to biholde Ful bisily ther wayten yonge and olde." (p. 153-4)
