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.

"And in the grove, at tyme and place yset, This Arcite and this Palamon ben met."

from: The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: A Facsimile of the William Morris Kelmscott Chaucer (P. 15) -  1958
Additional Information:
"And in the grove, at tyme and place yset, This Arcite and this Palamon ben met. To chaungen gan the colour in hir face, Right as the hunter in the regne of Trace, That stondeth at the gappe with a spere, Whan hunted is the leoun or the bere, And hereth hym come russhyng in the greves And breketh bothe bowes and the leves, And thynketh: Heere cometh my mortal enemy, Withoute faile he moot be deed or I; For outher I moot sleen hym at the gappe, Or he moot sleen me if that me myshappe. So ferden they in chaungyng of hir hewe, As fer as everich of hem oother knewe." (p. 16)
