-## Dataset Details
-
-Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) has emerged as a crucial tool for converting manuscripts images into machine-readable formats, 
-enabling researchers and scholars to analyse vast collections efficiently. 
-Despite significant technological progress, establishing consistent ground truth across projects for HTR tasks, 
-particularly for complex and heterogeneous historical sources like medieval manuscripts in Latin scripts (8th-15th century CE), remains nonetheless challenging. 
-We introduce the **Consistent Approaches to Transcribing Manuscripts (CATMuS)** dataset for medieval manuscripts, 
-which offers:
-1. a uniform framework for annotation practices for medieval manuscripts,
-2. a benchmarking environment for evaluating automatic text recognition models across multiple dimensions thanks to rich metadata (century of production, 
-language, genre, script, etc.),
-3. a benchmarking environment for other tasks (such as script classification or dating approaches),
-4. a benchmarking environment  and finally for exploratory work pertaining to computer vision and digital paleography around line-based tasks, such as generative approaches.
-
-Developed through collaboration among various institutions and projects, CATMuS provides an inter-compatible dataset spanning more than 200 manuscripts and incunabula in 10 
-different languages, comprising over 160,000 lines of text and 5 million characters spanning from the 8th century to the 16th.
-
-The dataset's consistency in transcription approaches aims to mitigate challenges arising from the diversity in standards for medieval manuscript transcriptions, 
-providing a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating HTR models on historical sources.

-## Uses
-
-### Direct Use
-
-- Handwritten Text Recognition
-- Date classification
-- Script classification
-
-### Out-of-Scope Use
-
-- Text-To-Image
-
-## Dataset Structure
-
-- Data contains the main `split` that is loaded through `load_dataset("CATMuS/medieval")`
-- Data can be split with each manuscript inside train, val and test using the `gen_split` columns which results in a 90/5/5 split
-- The image is in the `im` column, and the text in the `text` column

-## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
-
-The data are skewed toward Old French, Middle Dutch and Spanish, specifically from the 14th century.
-
-The only language that is represented over all centuries is Latin, and in each scripts. The other language with a coverage close to Latin is Old French.
-
-Only one document is available in Old English.

-## Glossary

-
-![Examples of bookscripts and their name](CATMuS_reference_v2.png)
-
-- Scripts: In the middle ages, the writing style changed over time, specifically in "litterary" manuscripts, for which we call the general scripts "Bookscripts". This is what CATMuS Medieval covers at the time
