Codex Basiliensis A. N. IV. 1, known as Minuscule 2 (on the Gregory-Aland), ε 1214 (in Soden's numbering), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, dated palaeographically to the 11th or 12th century. It was used by Erasmus in his edition of Greek text of the New Testament and became the basis for the Textus Receptus in the Gospels. The manuscript has complex contents.
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 248 parchment leaves with size 19.5 cm by 15.2 cm (text only 13.6 cm by 9.9 cm). The text is written in 1 column per page, 20 lines per page, in minuscule letters and contains ornaments in colour, the initial letters in red.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin (not in John), and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections. Matthew is divided into 359, Mark – 240, Luke – 342, and John into 231 Ammonian Sections (common accepted number of the Ammonian Sections: 355, 235, 343, 232). There is no references to the Eusebian Canons.
The tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are place before each Gospel and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel. Some leaves of the codex were lost, but the text of the Gospels has survived in complete condition.
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kx.Aland placed it in Category V.Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Family Kx. According to the Claremont Profile Method it has mixed Byzantine text in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 it represents Kx.
