Minuscule 180 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1498, α 300 (Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. The Gospels palaeographically have been assigned to the 12th century, the rest of New Testament books are dated by colophon to the 1273. Formerly it was deciphered as the year 1284. It has complex contents with full marginalia.
The codex contains the entire of the New Testament on 444 elegant parchment leaves (size 18.7 cm by 13.5 cm), with some apocryphal books. The Gregory-Aland number 180 has been retained for the Gospels, whereas the rest of the New Testament contained in the Codex has been renumbered GA-2918. The text is written in one column per page, in 22-26 lines per page, in light-brown or dark-brown ink, capital letters in red.
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 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), and lectionary markings at the margin for liturgical use. Liturgical books with hagiographies Synaxarion and Menologion were added in the 15th century.
Order of books: Gospels, Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles, and Apocalypse. In Apocalypse last verse (22:21) and part of verse 21 is omitted. The Apocalypse is ending on 22:20 on word αμην.
It contains the Eusebian Canons. In the 15th century were added synaxaria and Menologion on paper.
