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.

The Court Jester (Sir Dagonet)

by: Leslie Fly (Composer) from: King Arthur's Knights: 9 Miniatures for Pianoforte (P. 3) -  1923
Additional Information:
It was somewhat odd that Fly opted to use a knight as minor as Dagonet.  Only a few of the characters of Camelot were mentioned by name (Arthur, Lancelot, Elaine, Galahad and Gareth).  It is a curiosity that Dagonet was selected to receive a composition ahead of such figures as Guenevere, Gawain, Tristram or Mordred.
