Minuscule 3 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ 253 (in von Soden numbering), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on a parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th century. It was one of the manuscripts used by Erasmus.
Formerly it was known as Codex Cosendocensis.
The codex contains the entirety of the New Testament except the Book of Revelation in the order: Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, General epistles, and Pauline epistles on 451 parchment leaves, with size 24.5 cm by 17.5 cm. The text is written in one column per page, 24 lines per page (16.3 cm by 10.2 cm), in black ink. It uses iota adscript.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbes are given at the margin, with the τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. The text of the Gospels has also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234, 16:19), with references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Eusebian Canon tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each book, Prolegomena, pictures (in John with Prochorus), and the Euthalian Apparatus to the Acts and General epistles. Subscriptions at the end of each book were added by a later hand.
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type with exception for the Catholic epistles. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Family Kx.Aland placed it in Category V. According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 1 and Luke 20. In Luke 10 no Profile was made.
