History

edit

Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 14th or 15th century.[6] Gregory dated it to the 14th century.[1] It has been assigned by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF) to the 16th century.[3][4]

Of the history of the codex 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 313 and 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]).
