compendium
[kəmpen′dē·əm] pl. compendia
Etymology: L, compendere, to weigh
a collected body of information on the standards of strength, purity, and quality of drugs. The official compendia in the United States are the United States Pharmacopoeia, the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, and their supplements. See also formulary.
compendium = USP and/or HP ???
"compendium" may be translated as 药典, although the literal meaning of compendia is “a concise but comprehensive summary of a larger work”, “a publication containing a variety of works” (see http://www.onelook.com/?w=compendia+&ls=a )
