Would you recognize the shelf mark of the Très Riches Heures? The Codex Gigas? The Vienna Dioscorides? Even in academic writing, these common names are often used instead of the shelf mark.

You are wrong  and you are right, we use these names, but the shelf mark will be given in the first footnote, especially as the names can be quite differen, e.g. the Très Riches Heures are the Stundenbuch des Herzogs von Berry in GER. And I would recognise some of the shelfr marks
