Of the history of the codex ℓ 313 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, together with other Greek manuscripts (among them lectionaries ℓ 314 and ℓ 315) which were transported to England in 1870–1871.

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

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

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