+## Dataset Description
+
+- **Homepage:** [johnlockejrr's personal project](https://huggingface.co/datasets/johnlockejrr/samaritan_v1)
+
+## Dataset Summary 
+
+The Samaritanv1 dataset comprises Samaritan Biblical manuscripts line images and text from 14th and early 17th century.
+
+Note that all images are resized to a fixed height of 128 pixels.
+
+### Languages
+
+All the documents in the dataset are written in Hebrew, Samaritan Hebrew and Samaritan Aramaic.
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+### Data Instances
+
+```
+{
+  'image': <PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile image mode=RGB size=4300x128 at 0x1A800E8E190,
+  'text': 'ינבו הנש תאמו םישלשו'
+}
+```
+
+### Data Fields
+
+
+- `image`: a PIL.Image.Image object containing the image. Note that when accessing the image column (using dataset[0]["image"]), the image file is automatically decoded. Decoding of a large number of image files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "image" column, i.e. dataset[0]["image"] should always be preferred over dataset["image"][0].
+- `text`: the label transcription of the image. The text was intentinally flipped from RTL to LTR because of PyLaia library limitation to LTR.
