Minuscule 701 is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, written on parchment. It is designated by the siglum 701 in the Gregory-Aland numbering of New Testament manuscripts, and ε1405 in the von Soden numbering of New Testament manuscripts.[1][2] Using the study of comparative writing styles (palaeography), it has been assigned to the 14th century. The manuscript has complex contents.[3][4] Biblical scholar Frederick H. A. Scrivener labelled it by 523e.[5]
The manuscript is a codex (precursor to the modern book format) containing the text of the New Testament on 170 parchment leaves (size 19 cm by 16 cm)[3] The text is written in one column per page, 22 lines per page. The text of Matthew 23:1-20 was supplied by a later hand.[6]
The text is divided according to the chapters (known as κεφαλαια / kephalaia), whose numbers are given in the margin, with their titles (known as τιτλοι / titloi) given at the top and bottom of the pages. There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with references to the Eusebian Canons (both early systems of dividing the gospels into referenceable sections).[6]
It contains Prolegomena, the tables of conetns (also known as κεφαλαια) before each Gospel, lectionary markings in the margin, incipits, Synaxarion, Menologion, and "barbarous pictures".[5][6]

Biblical scholar Kurt Aland did not place the Greek text of the codex in any Category of his New Testament classification system.[7] It was not examined by using the Claremont Profile Method.[8]
