It was added to the list of New Testament manuscript by Scrivener (885) and Gregory (703). Gregory saw the manuscript in 1883. [4]

Formerly it was housed in London, in Quaritch (1251). In 1900 Gregory stated that the place of housing of the manuscript is unknown. [4] In 1915 the manuscript was found in United States.
