Minuscule 350 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 122 (Soden),[1] is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.[2] It has marginalia.

Description

The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 305 parchment leaves (19.5 cm by 15.2 cm) with only one lacuna (John 21:9-25). The text is written in one column per page, in 21 lines per page.[2]

The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 241 Sections, the last in 16:20), without references to the Eusebian Canons.[3]

It contains lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), and pictures (portraits of Evangelists). Synaxarion, Menologion were added in the 14th century.[3] The first four paper leaves with text of Matthew 1:1-4:25 was added in the 16th century.[4]
