Minuscule 181 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 101 (Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century.
Formerly it was labelled by 40a, 46p, and 12r. It has marginalia.
The codex contains the text of the Acts of the Apostles, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles and Book of Revelation with only one lacunae (Titus 3:3 – Philemon), on 169 elegant parchment leaves (size 25 cm by 19.1 cm). The text is written in one column per page, in 26-32 lines per page.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.
It contains Prolegomena, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical reading), subscriptions at the end of each book, with numbers of στιχοι, Menologion, and the Euthalian Apparatus. Book of Apocalypse was added in the 15th century.
The Greek text of the codex is a mixture of text-types in Acts and Catholic epistles. The Text of the Pauline epistles is a representative of the Western text-type. The text of the Apocalypse is a representative of the Byzantine. Aland placed it in Category V. The text of the rest of book Aland placed in Category III.
