nice question.
I'd have to say the synonym is thesaurus.

There are big differences between a synonym and a thesaurus. A synonym a word or expression that means the same as another word or expression. A thesaurus is a reference in which you find words of similar meanings. Otherwise known as synonyms.

Assuming you are looking for a ONE word synonym. . .
THESAURUS has two meanings, so there may be at least two possibilities.
1. A book of synonyms, often including related and contrasting words and antonyms.
synonym = "synonymicon" (or you might use a 'brand name', e.g., "look it up in your Roget's" just as you might use "Webster's" as a general term for dictionary)
If you're OK with a synonymous phrase "book of synonyms" would work.
2. A book of selected words or concepts, such as a specialized vocabulary of a particular field, as of medicine or music.
synonym: "lexicon"

Thesaurus means "treasure" in Greek. So...find a synonym for treasure.

Thesaurus comes from Greek ThEsauros: treasure, collection.
