Minuscule 174 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 109 (Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. It is dated by a colophon to the 1052. It has marginalia.
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 132 thick parchment leaves (size 24.6 cm by 19 cm), with three lacunae (Matthew 1:1-2:1; John 1:1-27; 8:47-21:25).
The text is written in two columns per page, in 30 lines per page (size of text 18.2 cm by 6.5 cm), in brown-red ink, the capital letters in red.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. 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 at the margin for liturgical use, and subscriptions at the end of each of the Gospels. In subscriptions are given numbers of ρηματα and numbers of στιχοι.
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Caesarean text-type. The manuscript is a member of textual Family 13. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category. According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual group Λ in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.
The manuscript was written by the monk Constantine "tabernis habitante", "cum praessent praefecturae Georgilas dux Calabriae". The codex, together with 173, 175, 176, and 177, was brought from the Library of the Basilian monks.
