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.

Additional Information:
"Upon Grisilde, this povre creature, Ful ofte sithe this markys sette his eye As he on huntyng rood paraventure; And whan it fil that he myghte hire espye, He noght with wantowne lookyng of folye His eyen caste on hire, but in sad wyse Upon hir chiere he gan hym ofte avyse, "Commendynge in his herte hir wommanhede, And eek hir vertu, passynge any wight Of so yong age, as wel in chiere as dede." (p. 130)
