Minuscule 897 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 361 (von Soden), is a 13th-century Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament on parchment. It has marginalia. The manuscript has not survived in complete condition.
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels, on 327 parchment leaves (size 23.9 cm by 17.2 cm), with some lacunae. The text is written in one column per page, 17 lines per page. According to Hermann von Soden it has decorated headpieces and initials.
It lacks texts of Matthew 1:1-7:6; 27:63-18:7; Luke 22:36-47; 23:45-24:1; John 8:8:33-10:24 (12:18-14:21).
The text of the Gospels 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 smaller Ammonian Sections (in Mark 239 sections, the last section in Mark 16:20), whose numbers are given at the margin. There are no references to the Eusebian Canons.
It contains lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each of the Gospels, lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), and subscriptions at the end of each of the Gospels.
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine. Hermann von Soden classified it to the textual family Kr.Kurt Aland placed it in Category V.
