History
Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 10th-century.[2][6]
The manuscript was examined by Johann Jakob Griesbach. Griesbach was the first who observed similarities between Londoner fragment (0121a) and Hamburger fragment (0121b), and supposed that they came from the same manuscript.[7]
The codex is located in the British Library (Harley MS 5613), in London. It was classified with Uncial 0121b as the same manuscript, but it is now established that they belonged to different manuscripts.[8]
