Lectionary 303 (Gregory-Aland), designated by siglum ℓ 303 in the Gregory-Aland numbering, is a 12th-century Greek manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. The manuscript has complex contents.
The original codex contained lessons from the Gospel of John, Matthew, and Luke (Evangelistarium), on 340 parchment leaves. The leaves measure (31.6 cm by 27 cm).
The text is written in Greek minuscule letters, in two columns per page, 22–23 lines per page. The manuscript contains weekday Gospel lessons.
It also contains Synaxarion and Menologion, both written in one column per page, 20 lines per column. The Menologion follows the civil calendar month by month.
In Mark 6:33 it has textual reading ἐκεῖ καὶ προῆλθον αὐτούς along with Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus, 0187 (omit εκει), 892, ℓ 49, ℓ 69, ℓ 70, ℓ 299, ℓ 333, ℓ 1579, (ℓ 950 αυτους), itaur, vg, (copsa, bo).
Caspar René Gregory dated the manuscript to the 12th or 13th century. It is presently assigned to the 12th century on palaeographic grounds by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research.
