Minuscule 79 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 529 (von Soden),[1] known as Codex Georg Douzae, is a Greek-Latin minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 15th century.[2] It was adapted for liturgical use.
The codex contains almost complete the text of the four Gospels with one large lacunae (Matthew 1:1-14:13) on 208 parchment leaves (size 16.5 cm by 12 cm). The text is written in two columns per page, 26-28 lines per page.[2] The initial letters in red.[3]
It contains numbers of the κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin (only in Matthew), (no τιτλοι), lectionary markings at the margin (for liturgical use), incipits, αναγνωσεις (to Matthew), synaxaria, and pictures.[4]
The Greek text of the codex in some parts represents the Byzantine text-type, in other parts is mixed. Kurt Aland did not place it in any Category.[5]
According to the Claremont Profile Method it represents textual family Kx in Luke 1. In Luke 10 and Luke 20 it has mixed Byzantine text.[6]
