Of the history of the codex ℓ 315 nothing is known until 1864, when it was in the possession of a dealer at Janina in Epeiros. It was then purchased from him by a representative of Baroness Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), a philanthropist,[7] together with other Greek manuscripts (among them lectionaries ℓ 313 and ℓ 314)[1] and they were all transported to England in 1870–1871. The manuscript was lost at the beginning of the 20th century.[8]

The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by F. H. A. Scrivener (253e 67a) and Caspar René Gregory (number 313e 184a).[1] Scrivener collated its text.[9]

It was held in London (Burdett-Coutts III. 42).[1] The current location and owner of the codex are unknown.[3][4]

The manuscript is not cited in critical editions of the Greek New Testament (UBS4,[10] NA28[11]).
