Minuscule 579 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 376 (von Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment leaves. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 13th century. Formerly it was labelled as 80e (Scrivener). The manuscript is lacunose.
The codex contains complete text of the four Gospels with some lacunae (Mark 3:28-4:8; John 20:15-21:25) on 152 leaves (size 23.3 cm by 16.2 cm). The text is written in one column per page, 28-39 lines per page. Words are written continuously without any separation, accents, and breathings.
It contains lists of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, numbers of the κεφαλαια (chapters) at the margin, and the τιτλοι (titles) at the top of the pages. It has the Ammonian sections (in Mark 233 Sections – 16:5) but not references to the Eusebian Canons. The Old Testament quotations are rarely indicated.
It has the same system of chapter divisions, as Codex Vaticanus and Codex Zacynthius.
The text of Matthew 16:2b–3 (Signs of the Times) is placed after verse 9. It contains two endings of the Gospel of Mark. It has two endings to the Gospel of Mark (as in codices Ψ, 099, 0112, 274mg, and ℓ 1602). It lacks the text of Luke 22:43-44 and Luke 23:34.
