Repertory
The easiest to use according to J. Clarke. He said I should be sorry to be without it.
The Prescriber, 1900
A clinical dictionary used as a quick guide in conjunction with a traditional repertory.
Clinical Repertory to the Dictionary of Materia Medica, 1904
Complete title also adds Together With Repertories of Causation, Temperaments, Clinical Relationships, Natural Relationships.
Clinical relationships include complementary remedies, remedies that follow well, remedy is followed well by, compatible remedies, incompatible remedies, remedy antidotes, remedy is antidoted by, and duration of action. Natural relationships helps you discover families of related remedies.
Pointers to the Common Remedies
OK, so this isn't a real repertory. It's more of a clinical guide with a comparative materia medica mixed in. But the logic is like one and I like Tyler's books .
Repertory, 1906
1,048 remedies, 8,320 rubrics. Materia Medica published in 1901 and repertory added in 1906. Transcribed from the Materia Medica by William into the repertory by Oscar E. Boericke.
Lots of new drugs and mostly a clinical reference with technical terms used instead for main headings. More likely to result in a small remedy. There are only two grades where the italics indicate the more frequently verified clinical remedy.
Sensations As If, 1937.
702 remedies, 20,264 rubrics.
As it says, it's full of subjective and therefore strangely worded rubrics. Check for peculiar symptoms. Roberts and Boger were some of the last to teach the use of the Boenninghausen repertories.
Applied Repertory
424 pages.
A compilation and reduction of several other repertories. Used for instruction only in the Institute for Clinical Research in Bombay.
Synthetic Repertory, 1st edition, 1973
Synthetic Repertory, 3rd edition, 1987
A compilation of 14, later from 16 authors' work from repertories and other homeopathic writings. Four grades adapted from the sources. Separated into three volumes. Volume I is mental symptoms, II is general symptoms including all food and drink symptoms, and III is sleep and dreams, and sexual symptoms.
Synthesis
178,000 additions from about 200 authors.
Based on the sixth American Edition of Kent's Repertory. RADAR, a computer repertory program, has used this as its foundation for a modern repertory since 1987.
More information can be found in an article by Dr. Schroyens called A History of Repertories and the Synthesis Project.
Kent's Repertorium Generale, 1987
Dr. Künzli has extended Kent's repertory by adding 72 other referenced authors' indications.
Additions include Hahnemann's observations, Kent's handwritten corrections, and Künzli's red points which are frequent verifications through clinical observations.

Contains the same information as Kent's Repertory as well as sections of Knerr's. It is alphabetized for easier reference. No authors are cited including Robin's additions. Pathological states and a section on emergencies have been added. Most commentary in Homeopathy Today is negative.

The Confirmed Repertory, in progress
Dr. Jenny has in mind the creation of an internet-based repertory of clinically confirmed symptoms including a short case description, searchable online. To this purpose he has developed data collection software and put up a web site.
