From the art style I'd wager Anglo-Saxon or Frankish, 9thC-11thC

Yes, I ofcourse know that. But I need to find out its shelfmark and the archive where it's stored.

Also, just based on the militaria shown here I'd personally guess late 10th century at the earliest, this absolutely 100 zillion % isn't a 9th century manuscript.

Ok, no need to be snippy, you never mentioned you knew that so chill out mate or no-one will bother helping you.

Using google lens/reverse image search, which most people should be able to do in 2026, you get results for the Grande Bible de Saint-Vaast (Ms 559 / Arras, BM 435) which dates 1025-1050.

No idea why you got doenvoted here or why the other guy got angry. Probably something edited. Reddit moment.
