It was then purchased from him by a representative of Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), a philanthropist,^[5] together with other Greek manuscripts (among them lectionaries ℓ 314 and ℓ 315)^[1] which were transported to England in 1870–1871.^[6]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by F. H. A. Scrivener (494) Caspar René Gregory (number 313^e).^[1]

It used to be held in London (Burdett-Coutts II. 5).^[1] The codex is now housed in the University of Michigan Library (Ms. 33) in Ann Arbor.^[2]^[3]
