The Uspenski Gospels, Minuscule 461 (in the Gregory-Aland numbering), ε 92 (Soden),[1] are a New Testament minuscule manuscript written in Greek, dated to 835 AD, and now in St Petersburg in Russia. They are the oldest known dated manuscript of the New Testament; it was not customary for Greek scribes to date their work at the time.[2]
