Codex Basilensis (Gregory-Aland no. Ee or 07) is a Greek uncial manuscript of the Gospels, dated paleographically to the 8th century. The codex contains 318 leaves (23cm by 16,5cm), with almost complete text of the four Gospels. The Gospel of Luke contains five small lacunae (1:69-2:4, 3:4-15, 12:58-13:12, 15:8-20, 24:47-end). Three of them were supplemented by a later, cursive hand (1:69-2:4, 12:58-13:12, 15:8-20). Certain disputed passages are marked with asterisks (Matt. 16:2-3, Luke 22:43-44, 23:34, John 8:2-11). Ammonian sections and Eusebian Canons are presented.
The codex is located, as its name indicates, in Basel. It came to Basel during Council of Florence in 1431. It was available to Erasmus for his New Testament, but he avoided using him. Now it is in the library of the University of Basle (AN III 12), Switzerland.
The Greek text of this codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.
