+ ## Dataset Description
34
+
35
+ The **Gwalther's Latin Handwriting Ground Truth** dataset provides resources for Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) systems, specifically focused on a single hand from the Reformation era.
36
+
37
+ The dataset contains ground truth for the handwriting of **Ruolph Gwalther (1519-1586)**, extracted from his work *Lateinische Gedichte*, which accumulated his writings between 1540 and 1580.

57
+
58
+ 1. Initial data was collected from e-manuscripta (150 images and corresponding transcriptions by Peter Stotz).
59
+ 2. 8 images were removed due to excessive corrections or vertical text.
60
+ 3. The remaining 142 images were uploaded to the Transkribus platform.
61
+ 4. Line recognition was applied, and the text lines were manually copied into the recognized line boxes.
62
+ 5. Minor corrections were made for inconsistencies in punctuation and capitalization.
63
+
64
+ ### Creators
65
+
66
+ The dataset creators are: **Peter Stotz** and **Phillip Ströbel**.
