Uspenski Gospels (Gregory—Aland 461) are a New Testament minuscule manuscript written in Greek, dated at 835 AD. They are the oldest known dated manuscript of the New Testament: it was not customary for scribes to date their work at the time. Pericope de adultera omitted by the original scribe, has been added in the margin by a later hand.
The codex contains 344 leaves (16.7cm by 10.7cm), written in one column per page, 19 lines per page.
Probably the codex was written in Constantinople. Later it belonged to the monastery of Mar Saba in Palestine. In 1844 bp Porphiryj Uspienski took it and brought it to Russia. The codex is holded in Petersburg (Russian National Library, Gr. 219. 213. 101).
The codex is a representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.
