Minuscule 22 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 288 (Soden), known also as Codex Colbertinus 2467. It is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, written on vellum. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th-century. Formerly it was assigned to the 11th-century (Tregelles, Scrivener). It has marginalia, it was adapted for liturgical use.
The codex contains a text of the four Gospels on 232 parchment leaves (26 cm by 19 cm) with some lacunae (Matthew 1:1-2:2; 4:19-5:25; John 14:22-16:27). The text is written in one column per page, 22 lines per page (17.2 cm by 12 cm), in black ink, the initial letters in gold ink.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Matthew 355, in Mark 233), whose numbers are given at the margin, with references to the Eusebian Canons (partially). The references to the Eusebian Canons are incomplete.
It contains tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel and subscriptions at the end of each Gospel. In the 16th century lectionary markings were added at the margin (for liturgical use). The manuscript has a comment about the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20. The manuscript is free from errors of itacism and errors by "homoioteleuton", and very carefully accentuated. Some leaves are dislocated.
