Minuscule 177 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), α 106 (Soden), is a Greek minuscule manuscript of the New Testament, on parchment. Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century. Formerly it was labelled by 179a, 128p, and 82r. It has marginalia.
Description
The codex contains the text of the Acts of the Apostles, Pauline epistles, the General epistles and Book of Revelation on 225 parchment leaves (size ).
The text is divided according to the κεφαλαια (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, and their τιτλοι (titles of chapters) at the top of the pages.
It contains prolegomena, fragments of the Eusebian Canon tables, numbers of στιχοι at the end of each book, and marginal notes to the Pauline epistles.{{Cite book | last = Gregory | first = Caspar René | author-link = Caspar René Gregory | title = Textkritik des Neuen Testaments | publisher = J.C.

The text is very close to the Textus Receptus. It contains the Comma Johanneum (in 1 John 5:7) at the margin added in the 17th or 18th century.
History
The manuscript once belonged to Zomozerab, the Bohemian. The portion of the manuscript which contains the text of the Apocalypse was collated by Franz Delitzsch. C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1887.
It was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz.{{Cite book | last = Scrivener | first = Frederick Henry Ambrose | author-link = Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener |author2=Edward Miller | title = A Plain Introduction to the Criticism of the New Testament | publisher = George Bell & Sons | year = 1894 | location = London | edition = 4 | volume = 1 | page = 292
