Minuscule 6 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ 356 (Soden). It is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on 235 parchment leaves (14.4 cm by 10.5 cm), dated palaeographically to the 13th century. The manuscript has complex contents and full marginalia. It was adapted for liturgical use.
The codex contains entire of the New Testament except the Book of Revelation (Catholic epistles placed before Pauline epistles) with some lacunae. The text is written in one column per page, 29-47 lines per page. It is written in elegant small letters.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. The text of Gospels is also divided according to the smaller Ammonian Sections (Matthew 356, Mark 234 – the last section in 16:9, Luke 342, John 226).
It contains Prolegomena, the tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before each book; it contains synaxaria, the Euthalian Apparatus, and ornamentations. At the end it has liturgy of Chrysostomos. Subscriptions at the end of each book with numbers of στιχοι were added by a later hand.
The order of books is usual: Gospels, Book of Acts, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles.
