Minuscule 872 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 203 (von Soden), is a 12th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. The manuscript has no complex context. It has full marginalia.
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with some lacunae (Matthew 6:4-21; John 13:16-21:25) on 180 parchment leaves (size 21 cm by 16 cm). The text is written in two columns per page, 26 lines per page.
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 233 Sections, the last in 16:8), with references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains the Epistula ad Carpianum, Prolegomena to John, tables of κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical reading); subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, with numbers of στιχοι and numbers of verses (in John); it contains portraits of the Evangelists placed before each Gospel.
The Greek text of the codex is an eclectic. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Iηb. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category. According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents the textual family Kx in Luke 1, Luke 10, and Luke 20.
