Minuscule 416 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering; ε 422 (in the Soden numbering),[1] is a Greek minuscule parchment manuscript of the New Testament. Via palaeography it has been assigned to the 14th century.[2] The marginal equipment is full.
The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 153 parchment leaves, with numerous lacunae (Matthew 1:1-25:36; 26:17-27:17; 27:33-Mark 2:25; John 18:8-21:25). The text's format is one column per page, with 22 lines per page.[2] The hand in which it is written is very rough.
The text is divided according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 Sections, 16:9), whose numbers are given at the margin, with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers). The division according to the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (chapters), with Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: τιτλοι (titles), was added by later hand.
It contains tables of the Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, Synaxarion, Menologion, pictures,[3] lectionary markings at the margin (added by later hand), and Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: αναγνωσεις (lessons).
The Greek text of the codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[4]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents Kx in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 it has mixed Byzantine text.[5]
The text of the Pericope Adulterae (John 7:53-8:11) is omitted.[3]
Wiedmann and J. G. J. Braun collated some portions of the manuscript for Scholz (1794-1852).[6] The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz.[7] C. R. Gregory saw it in 1886.[3]
The manuscript is currently housed at the Biblioteca Marciana (Gr. I. 24) in Venice.[2]
