Lisa, yes the symptomenlexikon is only available in german, and till date no-one has shown interest to publish it in english, -- what a shame!! -- it is of greatest importance for the study of homeopathy and for the daily work.

That IS a shame! Any idea to whom English speakers could express interest TO? How difficult is the Symptom Lexicon to use??? I wonder if it's worth getting the German copy anyway?? Any thoughts?

Even David little does not want to include the material which I translated for him regards it.

Not sure what what you're referring to here......

So -- instead of developing the repertorium ''universale'' into a repertorium ''intergalactical'' where we would have the choice between more than 10 000 different mental expressions, why not return to the basiscs and publish this work of Hahnemanns, which was highly acclaimed by Hering, Boenninghausen and Jahr and favoured by Hahnemann.

Hmmm. I agree a lot of rubbish is thrown into a lot of the modern repertories, and that's why I've personally avoided most of them.
But, have you looked at the Rep Universale? I downloaded it recently (close to 75MB!). I haven't yet had time to browse it comprehensively (or learn how to use it).However, I did have a quick peek and I could see the rubrics were clearly marked with an author number beside it. You can click on the number to see who the author is (and you can easily return to the previous screen, so you don't get lost in the program). This is very useful to be able to source the authors easily, because you can discard the ones you don't feel are reliable and only use the ones you feel are sound -- avoiding dubious rubrics! At least that's my impression thus far.
There was some talk about being able to mix the Kent and Boenninghausen methods using RU. However, I'm not sure what was meant by that because they are very different methods (different grades, for one!!) and I can't imagine how one could mix them to reliable effect!
Anyway, I plan to use the RU as a research tool whenever I need to look up a rubric that I can't locate in another Rep. And that feature of clearly seeing who the author of a rubric is - is really handy. It's well organised and well laid out as far as I can tell. And, I think it's really nice of Roger to share it with everyone.
I do understand some of your concerns, though.
