ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Dr. Jost Kunzli was born in 1915 and practiced in Switzerland at St. Galen. He was an ardent pupil of Dr. Pierre Schmidt of Geneva. Just like his teacher, he too had a roaring practice, attained vast knowledge in homoeopathy, and gained commendable respect not only among his fellow physicians but has great influence over the doctors in Germany and Europe.
Kunzli, even though is engrossed in his practice, he has spared sufficient time to know the developments in homoeopathy, and has collected the observations made by leading homoeopathic authorities and has added them to the Kent's repertory and has given us an enriched repertory - "Kent's Repertorium Generale".
NEED FOR THIS REPERTORY:
Among the repertories published, Kent's Repertory is considered to be most comprehensive and authoritative source available even today. After Kent's death, many important therapeutic observations have been made by leading homoeopathic physicians. These reports were not available to the physicians as most of the time they are hidden in the literature. Dr. Jost Kunzli has made an attempt in enriching Repertory by incorporating all the observations of important stalwarts and brought vital information to the limelight. Apart from this, he added his own observations to Kent’s repertory.
SOURCE:
Various therapeutic observations made by eminent physicians from 72 reputable sources including H.C. Allen, T.F. Allen, Boericke, Boger, Boenninghausen, Burnett, Clarke, Guernsey, Hahnemann, Herring, Jahr, Knerr, Nash, and Pulford. [40 years of untiring effort].
Kunzli also added his own observations
Kunzli added many of Hahnemann's observations from his chronic disease as well as Materia medica pura even though they were not clinically verified.
Kent’s personal handwritten corrections were also available for first time.
This book was compiled and edited by Michael Barthel M.D., with assistance Charlotte Barthel and Iise Seider,M.D.
Kent's Repertorium Generale was first published in German language in 1987 by Barthel. In the same year first Indian edition was printed by B.Jain Publishers.
Kunzli's new Repertory takes off from Kent's Repertory, 3rd edition, the one in general circulation which preceded the Final General Repertory of Kent revised by Dr. Pierre Schmidt and Dr. D. Harish Chand. All entries found in the 3rd edition are also found in Kunzli's Repertory.
First of all, Kunzli has included symptoms from Kent's Lectures, which are not found in the 3rd edition. very carefully he has included a numbered annotation above every remedy taken from Kent's Lectures. This allows the user to realize that although a remedy has been included in the new Repertory, it was Kunzli, not Kent, who included it.
Beginning in 1950, Kunzli, a careful student of homeopathy, began to make additions to his own 3rd edition of Kent's Repertory. These he penciled in. Kunzli began by including certain symptoms from Hering's Guiding Symptoms. Asked how he determined which symptoms to include, he said, "I chose Symptoms which I had verified clinically in my own practice plus strange, rare, and peculiar symptoms which seemed important to me."
In 1981, after more than 30 years of penciling in additions to his copy of Kent's Repertory, Kunzli decided to share his additions and invited a small group of classical homeopaths together.
“ We came together for a week at a time for a total of about six weeks," said Kunzli. "From 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. I read from my additions and they copied." Later, said Kunzli, Will Klunker, editor of the Synthetic Repertory, suggested publish a separate volume of Kunzli's additions but omitting the symptoms taken from Hahnemann.
"I could not agree with this idea," said Kunzli. "I think all the additions from Hahnemann are very important. Also, the idea of a separate volume of additions didn't appeal to me. I felt it wouldn't be used. I felt these additions had to be interpolated into the general text of Kent's Repertory if they were to become useful to the average homeopath."
PLAN, CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING METHOD
The plan, construction & working method of this repertory is just like Kent. Many new rubrics are added to each section. Many sub rubrics were also added.
Many therapeutic verifications of the author are added which are printed as black points in this book, originally these are known as "red points".
In each section we come across these black points. e.g.,
(a) If entered behind a drug - Therapeutic efficiency of that remedy had been frequently proven.
e.g., face - expression - foolish - Bufo *
besotted - Bapt *, Gels *, Lach * etc
(b) If entered behind the symptom- indicating that particular rubric is used in a case the curative remedy is certainly contained within the rubric.
It underscores therapeutic importance of the rubric and often points to the remedy in question or at least to general area etc.
FACE – EXCORIATED- Mouth, corners of *
EXPRESSION, ANXIOUS
Cradle when child lifted from *: Calc.
Downward moving driving * Bor1st Gels.
The sources of the observations collected are given with respective foot marks e.g.,
(i) Section Head rubric-Nodes - headache during K.lod12 (12 stands for Clarke dictionary of practical materia medica, The homeopathic publishing company, London 1947)
(ii) Head - Nausea - COCC.49 (Tyler ML - Homoeo Drug pictures, The homoeopathic publishing company, London 1952)
(iii) Mind- Confusion - epilepsy before Lach34 (herring guiding symptoms)
(Iv) Mind - Confusion - arouse himself completed to - CV, Sulph1. (J.T.Kent.lectures on homoeopathic MM and his handwritten corrections of last American edition of repertory) .

Of particular importance are the additions from Hahnemann himself. "I took the last edition of Chronic Diseases and the last edition of Materia Medica Pura," said Kunzli.
