Compendium
From Free net encyclopedia
A compendium is a concise yet comprehensive compilation of a body of knowledge. A compendium may summarize a larger work. In most cases the body of knowledge will concern some delimited field of human interest or endeavour (for example, hydrogeology), while a "universal" encyclopedia can be referred to as a compendium of all human knowledge.
The word compendium comes from the Latin word compendere, meaning "to weigh together".
