Minuscule 161 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1005 (Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 10th century. The manuscript is lacunose. It has full marginalia.
Description
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 203 thick parchment leaves (size 20.4 cm by 15.7 cm), with one large lacuna (John 16:4–21:25).
The text is written two columns per page, in 23–26 lines per page, in brown ink, the capital letters in red and gold.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top or the bottom of the pages, with a harmony. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel. Lectionary markings were added by a later hand (for liturgical use).
Various readings are often noted in its margin.
