Minuscule 231 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 1207 (Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Paleographically it has been assigned to the 12th century.
The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels, on 181 parchment leaves (size 21.5 cm by 15.5 cm). The leaves are arranged in quarto (four leaves in quire). The text is written in one column per page, 29 lines per page.
It contains the Eusebian tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin, synaxaria, Menologion, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, with numbers of στιχοι.
There are some marginal glosses made by a later hand, and a Latin version of parts of Matthew (between lines of Greek text). The text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) was marked by an obelus by a later hand.
