The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Johann Martin Augustin Scholz, who slightly examined the manuscript.[7] It was examined and described by Giuseppe Cozza-Luzi.[8] C. R. Gregory saw the manuscript in 1886.[4]
Formerly it was labeled by 165a. In 1908 Gregory gave the number 631 to it.[1]
The manuscript currently is housed at the Vatican Library (Ottob. gr. 417, fol. 49-72), at Rome.[2][6]
