Minuscule 660 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 178 (von Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 12th century. The manuscript is lacunose.Scrivener labelled it by 638e.
The codex contains the text of the New Testament, on 341 parchment leaves (size 22 cm by 16 cm) with only one lacuna (John 6:60-8:59). Lacuna in John 6:60-8:59 was supplemented by a later hand.
The text is written in one column per page, 21 lines per page, in very small letters.
It contains Epistula ad Carpianum, the list of the κεφαλαια (table of contents) is placed only before the Gospel of Mark. The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), the numbers of whose are placed at the left margin, and their τιτλοι (titles) are given at the top. The text of the four Gospels is divided also into much smaller sections, the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 237 sections – the last numbered section in 16:15). The manuscript contains also the lectionary markings at the margin, and numerous pictures (among them portraits of the Evangelists).
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Hermann von Soden classified it as Iota text. Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.
