Minuscule 565 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 93 (Soden), also known as the Empress Theodora's Codex. It is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on 392 purple parchment leaves (17.6 by 19.2 cm), dated paleographically to the 9th century. Written in one column per page, 17 lines per page.^[1]

Description

It is one of only two known purple minuscules (minuscule 1143 is the other) written with gold ink. The codex contains the text of the four Gospels with some lacunae (Matt. 20:18-26, 21:45-22:9, Luke 10:36-11:2, 18:25-37, 20:24-26, 11:26-48, 13:2-23, John 17:1-12). It contains the Ammonian Sections, but the Eusebian Canons were added by the later hand. It has the famous Jerusalem Colophon. The manuscript is similar to Beratinus 2.
