The codex contains parts of the Hebrews 1:1-4:3; 12:20-13:25 on two parchment leaves. The text is written in two columns per page, 45 lines per page, in small semi-uncial letters, in red ink. The accents and notes of aspiration are carefully marked, but the iota subscriptum nowhere occurs. The Iota adscriptum occurs three times, ν εφελκυστικον is rare. The interrogative occurs once, and the inverted comma is often repeated to mark quotations. The letters are a little unusual, in form small, and their character is between uncial and minuscule, and in the 19th century the codex was classified as a minuscule manuscript. Tregelles argued that they are more uncial by character, they are almost entirely separate, and sometimes joined in the same word. "They are certainly by no means cursive, in the common acceptation of the term". According to Scrivener they "can hardly be called semicursive". According to Günther Zuntz it is an uncial manuscript, its letters are that kind of uncial script, which scribes of the 10th and later centuries used. Size is the same as in Uncial 0121a, the number of lines is almost the same, and characters of letters are similar, therefore they were originally described and classified as the same manuscript. They received catalogue number 0121 in the Gregory-Alandsystem. Now after more accurate examination, they are unanimously considered to belong to different manuscripts.

History
Currently it is dated by the INTF to the 10th-century. The manuscript came from Italy. It once belonged to H. van derMerk. In 1712 it was in Hague. The manuscript once belonged to Conrad von Uffenbach, then to J. C. Wolf, and after his death in 1739 to the Public Library of Hamburg. It was very imperfectly described by Maius, Wettstein, Griesbach, and Bengel. Tregelles collated its text twice. Constantin von Tischendorf edited its text in 1855 and in 1861 corrected these 5 errors. The codex now is located in the University of Hamburg, in Hamburg.
