Minuscule 627 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 53 (von Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 10th century. The manuscript is lacunose.Tischendorf labelled it by 160a, 193p, and 24r. It has unusual order of books: the Book of Revelation is placed between Book of Acts and the Catholic epistles.
The codex contains the text of the New Testament except the four Gospels, on 187 parchment leaves (size 27 cm by 20.5 cm), with lacunae at the beginning and end (Acts 1:1-28:19; Hebrews 3:12-13:25). The text is written in one column per page, 26 lines per page.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages.
It contains subscriptions at the end of each book, with numbers of στιχοι, and scholia.
The order of books is unusual: Acts of the Apostles, Book of Revelation, Catholic epistles, Pauline epistles. The Epistle to the Hebrews is placed after the Epistle to Philemon.Minuscule 175 has the same sequence of the New Testament books, but it has the Gospels at the beginning of the codex.
