Uncial 056 (numbered by Gregory-Aland ) is a Greek uncial manuscript from the New Testament . It was dated to the 10th century AD using paleography . The Code contains the full text of the Acts of the Apostles , the Epistles of Paul, and the Catholic Epistles with commentaries. It was written on 381 parchment pages (29.8 × 23.3 cm) in one column per page with 40 lines each.

The Greek text of the Codex represents the Byzantine text type with strong Alexandrian elements in the Catholic letters (about 20%). Aland placed it in Category V a. Unzial 0142 is probably the successor to the code 056.

The code is kept in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris as part of the Fonds Coislin (Coislin Gr. 26).
