Minuscule 1424 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), δ 30 (von Soden) is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, written on 337 parchment leaves (28 by 18 cm). It has been dated paleographically to the 9th or 10th century).
The codex contains the entire New Testament with only one lacuna (Matthew 1:23-2:16). The books follow in this rather strange order: Gospels, Acts, Catholic epistles, Revelation of John, Pauline epistles. The text is written in one column per page, 29-33 lines per page.
The tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) are placed before each book, the Eusebian Canon tables, numbers of the κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin, the τιτλοι at the top of the pages, a division according to the Ammonian Sections, with a references to the Eusebian Canons, and the Euthalian Apparatus.
There are marginal commentaries on the Gospels (Chrystostomos), Acts and Epistles; only the Book of Revelation lacks commentaries. The Eusebian Canons presented, added by a different, probably later, hand.
The Greek text of the codex, is a representative of the Byzantine text-type with alien readings. Streeter remarked some relations between the codex and the various "Caesarean" witnesses, especially in the Gospel of Mark, but conceded it is only a tertiary witness to the type. But there are more of the Alexandrian readings than Caesarean. The manuscript together with M (021), 7, 27, 71, 115, 160, 179, 185, 267, 349, 517, 659, 692, 827, 945, 954, 990, 1010, 1082, 1188, 1194, 1207, 1223, 1391, 1402, 1606, 1675, 2191 and other manuscripts belongs to the Family 1424 (von Soden's I φ group). The whole Family 1424 deserves a more textual study than it received. According to Kurt and Barbara Aland in Gospel of Mark it agrees 88 times against the original text, 23 times supports the original text against the Byzantine, and 63 times it agrees with both. It has also 35 independent or distinctive readings. Alands placed the text of the codex in Category III for the Gospel of Mark, and in Category V for the rest of books.
