Ha ha. According to the Britannica Thesaurus there isn't one.

At first I'd have thought 'Dictionary' was the other name to 'Thesaurus'???
A Thesaurus may sometimes be referred to as an Ontology.
Other names are: a 'treasury' or 'storehouse'

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)
2. A book of selected words or concepts, such as a specialized vocabulary of a particular field, as of medicine or music.
synonym: "lexicon"
("Treasury" is the etymological meaning of the word, NOT its English meaning, so that won't do.)

Thesaurus is from the Greek thesauros meaning "Storehouse" or "Treasure."

I don't think there is one. You question is like asking if there is a synonym for Homer's Iliad.
