ordinary of arms
b. In full ordinary of arms. A book or work of reference in which heraldic charges are arranged by design and referred to the individuals or families who bear them (as opposed to an Armory, which is arranged in the order of the names of the people who bear arms). [An earlier example may occur in the title ‘An Ordinary of Arms in Colour’ on the spine of the binding, probably of c1700 or earlier, of London, College of Arms, MS A 18.
The sense may have originated in a misunderstanding (perhaps through a colloquial ordinary book) of the appellation book of ordinaries properly applied in 1628 by John Withie to the manuscript work of R. Glover, Somerset Herald (1571–88; R. Glover's own MS, B.M. Tiberius D. x., has no title); it could however also arise independently from for example sense 10. Compare:
1628 J. Withie Harl. MS 1459 This is a true coppie of a booke of Armes; (otherwise called a booke of Ordinaries) wch was trickt and written by the hands of the late worthy gent: Robert Glouer Esquire Somerset-Herauld.
A related use is apparently shown by the following:a1726 H. Wanley Descr. Harl. MS 1078 A large collection of the Arms of English Families disposed by way of Ordinary... But a table shewing the Order of this Ordinary is wanting.]
